Thomas Hobbes {Supervisor Guardian}
Such is the nature of men, that howsoever they may acknowledge many others to be more witty, or more eloquoent, or more learned, yet they will hardly believe there be man so wise as themselves.
Words are wise men's counters, they do but reckon by them; but they are the money of fools.
Science is the knowledge of consequences, and dependence of one fact upon another.
Prudence is but experience, which equal time equally bestows on all men, in those things they equally apply themselves unto.
The passions that incline men to peace are fear of death, desire of such things as necessary to commodious living, and a hope by their industry to obtain them. |
