“When it shall be said, in any country in the world, my people are happy, my jails are empty, the aged are not in want,
the taxes are not oppressive . . . then may that country boast of its constitution and government.”

“To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt,
is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.” in 1776

“These are the times that try men's souls.” – pamphlet series "The American Crisis", December 1776

“The cause of America is in a great measure the cause of all Mankind.” in 1776

Quotations  of  Thomas  Paine

“We have it in our power to begin the world over again.”

“Ye that dare oppose not only tyranny but the tyrant, stand forth!”

“Lead, follow, or get out of the way.”

“He who dares not offend cannot be honest.”

“A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right.”

“The World is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.”

“Character is much easier kept than recovered.”

“The most formidable weapon against errors of every kind is reason. I have never used any other, and I trust [that] I never shall.”

“Give to every other human being every right that you claim for yourself.”

“If I do not believe as you believe, it proves that you do not believe as I believe, and that is all that it proves.”

“If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace.” - in "The Crisis" pamphlets, 1776-83

“It is the duty of every man, as far as his ability extends, to detect and expose delusion and error.”

“Whatever is my right as a man is also the right of another; and it becomes my duty to guarantee as well as possess.”

Alexander Hamilton was born in 1757 in the West Indies; he served twice as a delegate to Congress under the Articles of Confederation, founded the Bank of New York
in 1784, served as Secretary of the Treasury 1789-95, and died in 1804 at age 47 after a duel with Vice President Aaron Burr [1756-1836].

Whereas 'imitation is the sincerest form of flattery (that mediocrity can pay to greatness)' - per Oscar Wilde [1854-1900] - this non-fiction trilogy
is included here because of the author's name choice, with the warning that this is NOT the historic Thomas Paine.
