Thomas Paine quotes
" A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right. "

Thomas Paine
" A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice. "

Thomas Paine
" An army of principles can penetrate where an army of soldiers cannot. "

Thomas Paine
" Any system of religion that has anything in it that shocks the mind of a child, cannot be true. "

Thomas Paine
" 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
" Belief in a cruel God makes a cruel man. "

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

Thomas Paine
" Character is much easier kept than recovered. "

Thomas Paine
" Every science has for its basis a system of principles as fixed and unalterable as those by which the universe is regulated and governed. Man cannot make principles; he can only discover them. "

Thomas Paine
" From such beginnings of governments, what could be expected, but a continual system of war and extortion? "

Thomas Paine
" Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one. "

Thomas Paine
" He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from opposition; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach himself. "

Thomas Paine
" He who is the author of a war lets loose the whole contagion of hell and opens a vein that bleeds a nation to death. "

Thomas Paine
" Human nature is not of itself vicious. "

Thomas Paine
" I believe in the equality of man; and I believe that religious duties consist in doing justice, loving mercy, and endeavoring to make our fellow-creatures happy. "
