The trade of governing has always been monopolized by the most ignorant and the most rascally individuals of mankind.

Thomas Paine 626 quotes

Christianity is the strangest religion ever set up, for it committed a murder upon Jesus in order to redeem mankind from the sin of eating an apple.

Thomas Paine 626 quotes

When it shall be said in any ...

When it shall be said in any country in the world my poor are happy; neither ignorance nor distress is to be found among them; my jails are empty of prisoners, my streets of beggars; the aged are not in want; the taxes are not oppressive; the rational world is my friend, because I am a friend of its happiness: When these things can be said, there may that country boast its Constitution and its Government

Thomas Paine 626 quotes

These are the times that try ...

These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it NOW, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.

Thomas Paine 626 quotes

It is not in numbers, but in ...

It is not in numbers, but in unity, that our great strength lies.

Thomas Paine 626 quotes

A constitution is not the act...

A constitution is not the act of a government, but of a people constituting a government; and government without a constitution is power without a right. All power exercised over a nation, must have some beginning. It must be either delegated, or assumed. There are not other sources. All delegated power is trust, and all assumed power is usurpation. Time does not alter the nature and quality of either.

Thomas Paine 626 quotes

Our greatest enemies, the ones we must fight most often, are within.

Thomas Paine 626 quotes

It is the direction and not the magnitude which is to be taken into consideration.

The Vatican is a dagger in the heart of Italy.

Thomas Paine 626 quotes

He who is the author of a war...

He who is the author of a war lets loose the whole contagion of hell and opens a vein that bleeds a nation to death.

Belief in a cruel God makes a cruel man.

Thomas Paine 626 quotes

It is error only, and not truth, that shrinks from inquiry.

Thomas Paine 626 quotes

The real man smiles in troubl...

The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection.

Thomas Paine 626 quotes

To argue with a man who has r...

To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.

Thomas Paine 626 quotes

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.

Thomas Paine 626 quotes

He that would make his own li...

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

Thomas Paine 626 quotes

The instant formal government...

The instant formal government is abolished, society begins to act. A general association takes place, and common interest produces common security.

Thomas Paine 626 quotes

When we are planning for post...

When we are planning for posterity, we ought to remember that virtue is not hereditary.

Thomas Paine 626 quotes

An army of principles can penetrate where an army of soldiers cannot.

Thomas Paine 626 quotes

Society in every state is a blessing, but government, even in its best stage, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.
