More quotes by Thomas Hobbes
What reason is there that he which laboreth much, and, sparing the fruits of his labor, consumeth little, should be more charged than he that, living idly, getteth little and spendeth all he gets, seeing the one hath no more protection from the commonwealth than the other?
Thomas Hobbes
The power of a man is his present means to obtain some future apparent good.
Thomas Hobbes
Obligation is thraldom, and thraldom is hateful.
Thomas Hobbes
The value or worth of a man is, as of all other things, his price that is to say, so much as would be given for the use of his power.
Thomas Hobbes
If any two men desire the same thing, which nevertheless they cannot both enjoy, they become enemies.
Thomas Hobbes
Life is nasty, brutish, and short
Thomas Hobbes
Such truth, as opposeth no man's profit, nor pleasure, is to all men welcome.
Thomas Hobbes
Scientia potentia est, sed parva quia scientia egregia rara est, nec proinde apparens nisi paucissimis, et in paucis rebus. Scientiae enim ea natura est, ut esse intelligi non possit, nisi ab illis qui sunt scientia praediti.
Thomas Hobbes
As, in Sense, that which is really within us, is (as I have said before) only Motion, caused by the action of external objects, but in appearance to the Sight, Light and Color to the Ear, Sound to the Nostril, Odor, &c.
Thomas Hobbes
That a man be willing, when others are so too, as far forth as for peace and defense of himself he shall think it necessary, to lay down this right to all things and be contented with so much liberty against other men, as he would allow other men against himself.
Thomas Hobbes
Immortality is a belief grounded upon other men's sayings, that they knew it supernaturally or that they knew those who knew them that knew others that knew it supernaturally.
Thomas Hobbes
He that is taken and put into prison or chains is not conquered, though overcome for he is still an enemy.
Thomas Hobbes
Understanding is by the flame of the passions never enlightened, but dazzled.
Thomas Hobbes
And Beasts that have Deliberation , must necessarily also have Will .
Thomas Hobbes
The Register of Knowledge of Fact is called History .
Thomas Hobbes
I mean by the universe, the aggregate of all things that have being in themselves and so do all men else. And because God has a being, it follows that he is either the whole universe, or part of it. Nor does his Lordship go about to disprove it, but only seems to wonder at it.
Thomas Hobbes
True and false are attributes of speech not of things. And where speech is not, there is neither truth nor falsehood. Error theremay be, as when we expect that which shall not be or suspect what has not been: but in neither case can a man be charged with untruth.
Thomas Hobbes
As in the presence of the Master, the Servants are equall, and without any honour at all So are the Subjects, in the presence of the Soveraign. And though they shine some more, some lesse, when they are out of his sight yet in his presence, they shine no more than the Starres in presence of the Sun.
Thomas Hobbes
To understand this for sense it is not required that a man should be a geometrician or a logician, but that he should be mad.
Thomas Hobbes
In a Democracy, look how many Demagogs that is how many powerful Orators there are with the people.
Thomas Hobbes
