About This Quote

The desire to be powerful is a strong one, but it is also a dangerous one. Thomas Hobbes believed that the human race would be constantly at war with itself. As such, he believed there would be no rules and each person would constantly strive for power over another. According to Hobbes, “might makes right” and there is no power higher than that of the strongest individual.
