Write a famous quote from your Enlightenment thinker and explain in your own words what you think this quote means?
Thomas Hobbes had many quotes. But I like a quote "Words are the money of fools"

It can mean different things to different people, but it generally means that wise men use words well and fools get in trouble with their use of words.
