Man is distinguished not only by his reason, but also by this singular passion, from all other animals.
Thomas HobbesThe praise of ancient authors proceeds not from the reverence of the dead, but from the competition and mutual envy of the living.
Thomas HobbesTo 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.
Thomas Hobbes
