Quote by Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679)

• Appetite, with an opinion of attaining, is called hope; the same, without such opinion, despair.

• All generous minds have a horror of what are commonly called "Facts". They are the brute beasts of the intellectual domain.

• Humans are driven by a perpetual and restless desire of power.

• The life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.

• Force, and fraud, are in war the two cardinal virtues.

• Leisure is the mother of philosophy.
