Quotes by Thomas Hobbes

English political philosopher (1588 - 1679)

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

Leisure is the mother of philosophy.

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

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

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

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