Top 5 quotes from Thomas Paine
"We fight not to enslave, but to set a country free, and to make room upon the earth for honest men to live in."
"It is difficult beyond description to conceive that space can have no end; but it is more difficult to conceive an end. It is difficult beyond the power of man to conceive an eternal duration of what we call time; but it is more impossible to conceive a time when there shall be no time."
"The instant formal government is abolished, society begins to act. A general association takes place, and common interest produces common security."
"What at first was plunder assumed the softer name of revenue."
"If, from the more wretched parts of the old world, we look at those which are in an advanced stage of improvement, we still find the greedy hand of government thrusting itself into every corner and crevice of industry, and grasping the spoil of the multitude. Invention is continually exercised, to furnish new pretenses for revenues and taxation. It watches prosperity as its prey and permits none to escape without tribute."
Top 5 quotes from Fear
"By a tranquil mind I mean nothing else than a mind well ordered."
"There are some people that if they don't know, you can't tell 'em."
"How much trouble he avoids who does not look to see what his neighbor says or does or thinks."
"It is a secret both in nature and state, that it is safer to change many things than one."
"I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain."
