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

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

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.

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.

Thomas Paine 626 quotes

To argue with a man who has r...

Thomas Paine 626 quotes

'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.

Thomas Paine 626 quotes

Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property... Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them.

Thomas Paine 626 quotes

All national institutions of ...

All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit.

Thomas Paine 626 quotes

Reason obeys itself; and ignorance submits to whatever is dictated to it.

Thomas Paine 626 quotes

He that rebels against reason is a real rebel, but he that in defence of reason rebels against tyranny has a better title to Defender of the Faith, than George the Third.

Thomas Paine 626 quotes

There are matters in the Bible, said to be done by the express commandment of God, that are shocking to humanity and to every idea we have of moral justice.

Thomas Paine 626 quotes

But such is the irresistable nature of truth, that all it asks, and all it wants is the liberty of appearing.
