Hobbes promoted a materialist philosophy and believed in the morality of the soul. He viewed freedom as being able to do what one desires.
Words are wise men’s counters, they do but reckon with them, but they are the money of fools.
The privilege of absurdity; to which no living creature is subject but man only.
(In a state of nature) No arts; no letter; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.
The praise of ancient authors proceeds not from the reverence of the dead, but from the competition and mutual envy of the living.
Such truth as opposeth no man’s profit nor pleasure is to all men welcome. Last Words: I am about to take my last voyage, a great leap in the dark.
