Common Notions

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or notions:

    To this war of every man against every man, this also is consequent; that nothing can be Unjust. The notions of Right and Wrong, Justice and Injustice have there no place. Where there is no common Power, there is no Law; where no Law, no Injustice. Force, and Fraud, are in war the two Cardinal virtues.
    Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)

    Shelley is truth itself—and honour itself—notwithstanding his out-of-the-way notions about religion.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
