"These are the times that try men’s souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly."

-- Thomas Paine: Common Sense


“The heart that feels not now is dead. The blood of his children will curse his cowardice, who shrinks back at a time when a little might have saved the whole, and made them happy.”

-- Thomas Paine: Common Sense


"America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all."

-- John Quincy Adams
