His famous quote
Now I am about to take my last voyage, a great leap in the dark.
The condition of man... is a condition of war of everyone against everyone.
Curiosity is the lust of the mind.
A man's conscience and his judgment is the same thing; and as the judgment, so also the conscience, may be erroneous.
No mans error becomes his own Law; nor obliges him to persist in it.
Science is the knowledge of consequences, and dependence of one fact upon another.
The life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.
The flesh endures the storms of the present alone; the mind, those of the past and future as well as the present. Gluttony is a lust of the mind.
Understanding is nothing else than conception caused by speech.
The obligation of subjects to the sovereign is understood to last as long, and no longer, than the power lasteth by which he is able to protect them. ( from google )
