Additional quotes by Thomas Paine
It is the duty of every man, as far as his ability extends, to detect and expose delusion and error.
Man cannot make principles, he can only discover them.
The more men have to lose, the less willing are they to venture. The rich are in general slaves to fear, and submit to courtly power with the trembling duplicity of a Spaniel.
