Thomas Hobbes
During the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that conditions called war and such a war, as if of every man, against every man.
Thomas Hobbes
To this war of every man against every man, this also in consequent that nothing can be unjust. The notions of right and wrong, justice and injustice have there no place. Where there is no common power, there is no law, where no law, no injustice. Force, and fraud, are in war the cardinal virtues.

For as to the strength of body, the weakest has strength enough to kill the strongest, either by secret machination or by confederacy with others that are in the same danger with himself
Thomas Hobbes
Man is distinguished not only by his reason, but also by this singular passion, from all other animals.
Thomas Hobbes
Religions are like pills, which must be swallowed whole without chewing.
Thomas Hobbes
As a draft-animal is yoked in a wagon, even so the spirit is yoked in this body
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
Such truth, as opposeth no man's profit, nor pleasure, is to all men welcome.
Thomas Hobbes
If I read as many books as most men do, I would be as dull-witted as they are.
Thomas Hobbes
To be seduced by Orators, as a Monarch by Flatterers.
Thomas Hobbes
The power of a man is his present means to obtain some future apparent good.
Thomas Hobbes
And this Feare of things invisible, is the naturall Seed of that, which every one in himself calleth Religion and in them that worship, or feare that Power otherwise than they do, Superstition.
Thomas Hobbes
