De Cive, C. I, § 11. é

2. ... Si addas jam jus omnium in omnia, quo alfcer jure invadit, al ter jure resistit, atque exoriuntur omnium adversus omnes perpétuée suspieiones et studium,... negari non potest quin status hominum naturalis, antequam in societatem coiretur, bellum fuerit ; neque hoc simpliciter, sed bellum omnium in omnes. Bellum enim quid est, prseter tempus illud in quo voluntas certandi per vim verbis factisve satis declaratur ? Tempus reliquum pax vocatur. (De Cive, C. T, § 12. — Cf. Leviathan, C. XIII, t. III, p. 99-100).

3. In such condition, there is no place for industry, because the fruit thereof is umertain, and consequently no culture of the earth ; no navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by sea ; no commodious building ; no instruments of moving and removing such things as require much force ; no knowledge of the face of the earth ; no account of time ; no arts ; no letters ; no society ; and, which is worst of ail, continuai fear and danger of violent death ; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short. (Leviathan, C. XIII, Ed. M. t. III, p. 113. — Texte lat., t. III, p. 100, § Quicquid).
