"When we are planning for posterity, we ought to remember that virtue is not hereditary."

Engraved with the point of pin

Day 341

"Now is the seedtime of continental union, faith and honor. The least fracture now, will be like a name engraved with the point of a pin on the tender rind of a young oak; the wound would enlarge with the tree, and posterity read in it full grown characters."

~Thomas Paine~  

 

 

 

Innstructed

Day 302

A nation under a well regulated government, should permit none to remain uninstructed. It is monarchical and aristocratical government only that requires ignorance for its support.

~Thomas Paine~

Day 301

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

~Thomas Paine~

Day 40

Thomas Paine


“Died at New York Thomas Paine, author of “Common Sense,” “Rights of Man,” “Age of Reason,” and many other political and deistical publications. I knew him well soon after his arrival in America in 1773, at which time he was unfriendly to the claims of America. He wrote “Common Sense” at my request. I gave it its name. He possessed a wonderful talent of writing to the tempers and feelings of the public. His compositions, though full of splendid and original imagery, were always adapted to the common capacities. He was intemperate and otherwise debauched in private life. His vanity appeared in everything he did or said. He once said he was at a loss to know whether he was made for the times or the times made for him. His “Age of Reason” probably perverted more persons from the Christian faith than any book that ever was written for the same purpose. Its extensive mischief was owing to the popular, perspicuous, and witty style in which it was written, and to its constant appeals to the feelings and tempers of his readers.”

Independence was inevitable

 Day 39

 "I have never met with a man, either in England of America, who hath not confessed his opinion, that a separation between the countries, would take place one time of other: And there is no instance, in which we have shown less judgment, than in endeavouring to describe, shat we call, the ripeness of fitness of the continent for independence. "
