Thomas Paine Freedom Fighter!
“An army of principles
can penetrate where an
army of soldiers cannot.”
“Government,
even in its best state,
is but a necessary evil;
in its worst state,
an intolerable one.”
“If we do
not hang together,
we shall surely
hang separately.”
“It is not a field
of a few acres of ground,
but a cause,
that we are defending,
and whether we defeat
the enemy in one battle,
or by degrees,
the consequences
will be the same.”
“That government is
best which governs least.”
“Those who expect
to reap the blessings
of freedom must,
like men,
undergo the fatigue
of supporting it.”

“To say that any people
are not fit for freedom,
is to make poverty
their choice,
and to say they had
rather be loaded with
taxes than not.”
