Thomas Hobbes Quotes

So That In The Nature Of Man,
we Find Three Principal Causes Of Quarrel:
First, Competition;
Secondly, Dissidence;
Thirdly, Glory.
The First, Maketh Men Invade For Gain;
the Second, For Safety;
and The Third, For Reputation.
The First Use Violence, To Make Themselves Masters Of Other Men's Persons, Wives, Children And Cattle;
the Second, To Defend Them;
the Third, For Trifles, As A Word, A Smile, A Different Opinion, And Any Other Sign Of Undervalue, Either Direct In Their Persons, Or By Reflexion In Their Kindred, Their Friends, Their Nation, Their Profession, Or Their Name.
