Thomas Hobbes Quotes
For such is the nature of men, that howsoever they may acknowledge many others to be more witty, or more eloquent, or more learned, yet they will hardly believe there be many so wise as themselves, for they see their own wit at hand, and other men's at a distance.

For there is not ordinarily a greater sign of the equal distribution of any thing than that every man is contented with his share.
