More quotes by Thomas Hobbes
The oath adds nothing to the obligation. For a covenant, if lawful, binds in the sight of God, without the oath, as much as with it if unlawful, bindeth not at all, though it be confirmed with an oath.
Thomas Hobbes
In a Democracy, look how many Demagogs that is how many powerful Orators there are with the people.
Thomas Hobbes
There is no such thing as perpetual tranquility of mind while we live here.
Thomas Hobbes
Moral philosophy is nothing else but the science of what is good, and evil, in the conversation, and society of mankind. Good, and evil, are names that signify our appetites, and aversions which in different tempers, customs, and doctrines of men, are different.
Thomas Hobbes
Those men that are so remissly governed that they dare take up arms to defend or introduce an opinion, are still in war, and their condition not peace, but only a cessation of arms for fear of one another, and they live as it were in the precincts of battle continually.
Thomas Hobbes
Setting themselves against reason, as often as reason is against them.
Thomas Hobbes
Force and fraud are in war the two cardinal virtues.
Thomas Hobbes
It's not the pace of life I mind. It's the sudden stop at the end.
Thomas Hobbes
Covenants without swords are but words.
Thomas Hobbes
It's my turn, to take a leap into the darkness!
Thomas Hobbes
The first cause of Absurd conclusions I ascribe to the want of Method.
Thomas Hobbes
No man is bound by the words themselves, either to kill himselfe, or any other man.
Thomas Hobbes
Wisdom, properly so called, is nothing else but this: the perfect knowledge of the truth in all matters whatsoever.
Thomas Hobbes
Passions unguided are for the most part mere madness.
Thomas Hobbes
The value of all things contracted for, is measured by the appetite of the contractors, and therefore the just value is that which they be contented to give.
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
If nobody makes you do it, it counts as fun.
Thomas Hobbes
How could a state be governed, or protected in its foreign relations if every individual remained free to obey or not to obey the law according to his private opinion.
Thomas Hobbes
The flesh endures the storms of the present alone the mind, those of the past and future as well as the present. Gluttony is a lust of the mind.
Thomas Hobbes
By how much one man has more experience of things past, than another, by so much also he is more prudent, and his expectations the seldomer fail him.
Thomas Hobbes
