Life Is Nasty, Brutish, And Short

For All Laws Are General Judgements, Or Sentences Of The Legislator; As Also Every Particular Judgement Is A Law To Him Whose Case Is Judged.

Passions Unguided Are For The Most Part Mere Madness.

The Passions Of Men Are Commonly More Potent Than Their Reason.

The Law Is The Public Conscience.

As In The Presence Of The Master, The Servants Are Equall, And Without Any Honour At All; So Are The Subjects, In The Presence Of The Soveraign. And Though They Shine Some More, Some Lesse, When They Are Out Of His Sight; Yet In His Presence, They Shine No More Than The Starres In Presence Of The Sun.
