When these things can be said, then may that country boast its constitution and government. Independence is my happiness, the world is my country and my religion is to do good.” ― Thomas Paine, Rights of Man (2/2)

β€œWhen it can be said 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 the friend of happiness...

"One good schoolmaster is of more use than a hundred priests. I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church." β€” Thomas Paine

"You have no enemies, you say? Alas, my friend, the boast is poor. He who has mingled in the fray of duty that the brave endure must have made foes. If you have none, small is the work that you have done. You’ve never turned the wrong to right. You’ve been a coward in the fight." β€” Charles Mackay

β€œIn an ever-changing, incomprehensible world the masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and that nothing was true.”

The work and prayers of centuries
Have brought us to this day
What shall be our legacy?
What will our children say?
Let me know in my heart
When my days are through
America, America I gave my best to you.
