Thomas Hobbes Quotes

The Attaining To This Soveraigne Power, Is By Two Wayes. One, By Naturall Force; As When A Man Maketh His Children, To Submit Themselves, And Their Children To His Government, As Being Able To Destroy Them If They Refuse, Or By Warre Subdueth His Enemies To His Will, Giving Them Their Lives On That Condition. The Other, Is When Men Agree Amongst Themselves, To Submit To Some Man, Or Assembly Of Men, Voluntarily, On Confidence To Be Protected By Him Against All Others. This Later, May Be Called A Politicall Common-wealth, Or Common-wealth By Institution; And The Former, A Common-wealth By Acquisition. And First, I Shall Speak Of A Common-wealth By Institution.
