„Člověk od přírody volí menší zlo, to jest nebezpečí smrti při odporu, raději než větší, to jest jistou a okamžitou smrt, nebude-li se brániti.“

„So that in the first place, I put for a general inclination of all mankind a perpetual and restless desire of Power after power, that ceaseth only in Death.“
— Thomas Hobbes, kniha Leviathan
Leviathan (1651), Context: So that in the first place, I put for a general inclination of all mankind a perpetual and restless desire of Power after power, that ceaseth only in Death. And the cause of this is not always that a man hopes for a more intensive delight than he has already attained to, or that he cannot be content with a moderate power: but because he cannot assure the power and means to live well, which he hath present, without the acquisition of more.
The First Part, Chapter 11, p. 47.
„And because the condition of Man, (as hath been declared in the precedent Chapter) is a condition of Warre of every one against everyone; in which case every one is governed by his own Reason; and there is nothing he can make use of, that may not be a help unto him, in preserving his life against his enemyes; It followeth, that in such a condition, every man has a Right to every thing; even to one anothers body.“
— Thomas Hobbes, kniha Leviathan
