More quotes by Thomas Hobbes
For such Truth as opposeth no man's profit nor pleasure is to all men welcome.
No man's error becomes his own Law; nor obliges him to persist in it.
And the life of man solitary, poore, nasty, brutish, and short.
Men looke not at the greatnesse of the evill past, but the greatnesse of the good to follow.

O Fortune, cruellest of heavenly powers,
Why make such game of this poor life of ours?
