Mga Tanyag na Linya ni

Thomas Hobbes

“A man cannot lay down the right of resisting them

that assault him by force, to take away his life.”

“A man's conscience and his judgment is the same

thing; and as the judgment, so also the conscience,

may be erroneous.”

“A wise man should so write (though in words

understood by all men) that wise men only should be

able to commend him.”

“All generous minds have a horror of what are

commonly called "Facts". They are the brute beasts

of the intellectual domain.”

“Curiosity is the lust of the mind.”

“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.”

“Fear of things invisible in the natural seed of that

which everyone in himself calleth religion.”

“Force and fraud are in war the two cardinal

virtues.”

“He that is taken and put into prison or chains is not

conquered, though overcome; for he is still an enemy.”

“I am about to take my last voyage, a great leap in

the dark.”

“I put for the general inclination of all mankind, a

perpetual and restless desire of power after power, that

ceaseth only in death.”

“In the state of nature profit is the measure of right.”

“It is not wisdom but authority that makes law”

“Laughter is nothing else but sudden glory arising

from some sudden conception of some eminency in

ourselves, by comparison with the infirmity of others,

or with our own formerly.”

“Leisure is the Mother of Philosophy.”

“No man's error becomes his own Law; nor obliges him

to persist in it.”

“Not believing in force is the same as not believing in

gravitation.”

“Prudence is but experience, which equal time, equally

bestows on all men, in those things they equally apply

themselves unto.”

“Science is the knowledge of consequences, and

dependence of one fact upon another.”

“Such is the nature of men, that howsoever they may

acknowledge many others to be more witty, or more

eloquent, or more learned; yet they will hardly believe

there be many so wise as themselves.”
