If Men Are Naturally In A State

A Covenant Not To Defend Myself From Force, By Force, Is Always Void. For... No Man Can Transfer Or Lay Down His Right To Save Himself From Death.

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

Government Is Necessary, Not Because Man Is Naturally Bad... But Because Man Is By Nature More Individualistic Than Social.

Fear Of Power Invisible, Feigned By The Mind Or Imagined From Tales Publicly Allowed, Is Religion; Not Allowed, Superstition.

Fear Of Things Invisible Is The Natural Seed Of That Which Everyone In Himself Calleth Religion.
