No Man Is Bound By

How Could A State Be Governed, Or Protected In Its Foreign Relations If Every Individual Remained Free To Obey Or Not To Obey The Law According To His Private Opinion.

Science [is] Knowledge Of The Truth Of Propositions And How Things Are Called.

A Covenant Not To Defend Myself From Force By Force Is Always Void. For ... No Man Can Transfer Or Lay Down His Right To Save Himself. For The Right Men Have By Nature To Protect Themselves, When None Else Can Protect Them, Can By No Covenant Be Relinquished. ... [the Right] To Defend Ourselves [is The] Summe Of The Right Of Nature.

For It Can Never Be That War Shall Preserve Life, And Peace Destroy It.

The Law Is The Public Conscience.
