Thomas Hobbes Law of Nature.


* The first Law of nature is that every man ought to endeavour peace, as far as he has hope of obtaining it; and when he cannot obtain it, that he may seek and use all helps and advantages of war.
* The second Law of nature is that a man be willing, when others are so too, as far forth, as for peace, and defence 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.
* The third Law is that men perform their covenants made. In this law of nature consisteth the fountain and original of justice... when a covenant is made, then to break it is unjust and the definition of injustice is no other than the not performance of covenant. And whatsoever is not unjust is just.
* The fourth Law is that a man which receiveth benefit from another of mere grace, endeavour that he which giveth it, have no reasonable cause to repent him of his good will. Breach of this law is called ingratitude.
* The fifth Law is complaisance: that every man strive to accommodate himself to the rest. The observers of this law may be called sociable; the contrary, stubborn, insociable, froward, intractable.
* The sixth Law is that upon caution of the future time, a man ought to pardon the offences past of them that repenting, desire it.
* The seventh Law is that in revenges, men look not at the greatness of the evil past, but the greatness of the good to follow.
* The eighth Law is that no man by deed, word, countenance, or gesture, declare hatred or contempt of another. The breach of which law is commonly called contumely.
* The ninth Law is that every man acknowledge another for his equal by nature. The breach of this precept is pride.
* The tenth law is that at the entrance into the conditions of peace, no man require to reserve to himself any right, which he is not content should be reserved to every one of the rest. The breach of this precept is arrogance, and observers of the precept are called modest.
* The eleventh law is that if a man be trusted to judge between man and man, that he deal equally between them.
* The twelfth law is that such things as cannot be divided, be enjoyed in common, if it can be; and if the quantity of the thing permit, without stint; otherwise proportionably to the number of them that have right.
* The thirteenth law is that those things which cannot be enjoyed in common, nor divided, ought to be adjudged to the first possessor; and in some cases to the first born, as acquired by lot.
* The fourteenth law is that all men that mediate peace be allowed safe conduct.
* The fifteenth law is that they that are at controversy submit their right to the judgment of an arbitrator.
* The sixteenth law is that no man is a fit arbitrator in his own cause.
