The right of nature... is the liberty each man hath to use his own power, as he will himself, for the preservation of his own nature; that is to say, of his own life.

Man... hath by nature a power
.... to preserve his property - that is, his life, liberty, and estate - against the injuries and attempts of other men.

Every man has a right to risk his own life for the preservation of it.

No man's error becomes his own Law; nor obliges him to persist in it.

That a man be willing, when others are so too, as far forth as for peace and defense 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.

A man cannot lay down the right of resisting them that assault him by force, to take away his life.
