A Great Leap In The Dark

The Present Only Has A Being In Nature; Things Past Have A Being In The Memory Only, But Things To Come Have No Being At All; The Future But A Fiction Of The Mind.

The Right Of Nature... Is The Liberty Each Man Hath To Use His Own Power, As He Will Himself, For The Preservation Of His Own Nature; That Is To Say, Of His Own Life.

Prudence Is A Presumption Of The Future, Contracted From The Experience Of Time Past.

Life In The State Of Nature Is Solitary, Poor, Nasty, Brutish, And Short.

For There Are Very Few So Foolish Who Would Not Rather Govern Themselves Than Be Governed By Others.
