3 Thomas Hobbes Quotes on Freedom

Thomas Hobbes quotes on freedom

14. The secret thoughts of a man run over all things, holy, prophane, clean, obscene, grave, and light, without shame, or blame:

28. The RIGHT OF NATURE, which Writers commonly call Jus Naturale, is the Liberty each man hath, to use his own power, as he will himself, for the preservation of his own Nature; that is to say, of his own Life; and consequently, of doing any thing, which in his own Judgement, and Reason, he shall conceive to be the aptest means thereunto.

30. That a man be willing, when others are so too, as farre-forth, as for Peace, and defence of himself he shall think it necessary, to lay down this right to all things; and be contented with so much liberty against other men, as he would allow other men against himself.
