The right of voting for representatives , is the primary right by which other rights are protected.

Thomas Paine 626 quotes

The aristocracy are not the farmers who work the land, and raise the produce, but are the mere consumers of the rent; and when compared with the active world, are the drones, a seraglio of males, who neither collect the honey nor form the hive, but exist only for lazy enjoyment.

Thomas Paine 626 quotes

I had come to realize the importance of the Nation, and of shared, communal, social responsibility, to be held as equally important as individual concerns. The elderly, the widowed, newly married couples, the poor, the unemployed, disbanded soldiers and children, who would be required to attend school, must be provided for from state funds. And all this support is not the nature of charity, but of a right.

A government of our own is our natural right

The American constitutions were to liberty, what a grammar is to language: they define its parts of speech, and practically construct them into syntax

...it is, I believe, impossible to find in any story upon record so many and such glaring absurdities, contradictions, and falsehoods, as are in the books [The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John]. They are more numerous and striking than I had any expectation of finding, when I began this examination,...

Thomas Paine 626 quotes

Men who look upon themselves born to reign, and others to obey, soon grow insolent; selected from the rest of mankind their minds are early poisoned by importance.

Oppression is often the consequence, but seldom or never the means of riches.

Every age and generation must be as free to act for itself.

It can only be by blinding the understanding of man, and making him believe that government is some wonderful mysterious thing, that excessive revenues are obtained. Monarchy is well calculated to ensure this end. It is the popery of government; a thing kept up to amuse the ignorant, and quiet them into taxes.

Thomas Paine 626 quotes

Though avarice will prevent a man from being necessitously poor, it generally makes him too timorous to be wealthy.

Governments arise either out of the people or over the people.

The guilt of a government is the crime of a whole country.

Thomas Paine 626 quotes

Every age and generation must be as free to act for itself in all cases as the ages and generations which preceded it. The vanity and presumption of governing beyond the grave is the most ridiculous and insolent of all tyrannies.
