Thomas Hobbes believed that man was evil. 

He used such words as solitary,nasty,poor, brutish,and short

Hobbes solution for the issue of trust is simple: to create a power, a great power that will enforce the agreements and make sure people stick to it.

He said once that his mother gave birth to twins, himself and fear.

Hobbes last words were " I am about to take my last voyage, a great leap into the dark."
