The secret thoughts of a man run over all things, holy, profane, clean, obscene, grave, and light, without shame or blame.

That a man be willing, when others are so too, as far forth as for peace and defense of himself he shall think it necessary, to lay down this right to all things; and be contented with so much liberty against other men, as he would allow other men against himself.

Holy humility confounds pride and all the men of this world and all things that are in the world.

All things are artificial, for nature is the art of God.

During the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that conditions called war; and such a war, as if of every man, against every man.
