Thomas Hobbes Quotes

The Opinion That Any Monarch Receiveth His Power By Covenant, That Is To Say On Condition, Proceedeth From Want Of Understanding This Easie Truth, That Covenants Being But Words, And Breath, Have No Force To Oblige, Contain, Constrain, Or Protect Any Man, But What It Has From The Publique Sword; That Is, From The Untyed Hands Of That Man, Or Assembly Of Men That Hath The Soveraignty, And Whose Actions Are Avouched By Them All, And Performed By The Strength Of Them All, In Him United. But When An Assembly Of Men Is Made Soveraigne; Then No Man Imagineth Any Such Covenant To Have Past In The Institution; For No Man Is So Dull As To Say, For Example, The People Of Rome, Made A Covenant With The Romans, To Hold The Soveraignty On Such Or Such Conditions; Which Not Performed, The Romans Might Lawfully Depose The Roman People.
