"A share in two revolutions is living..." - Quote by Thomas Paine

“What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value.”

“The graceful pride of truth knows no extremes, and preserves, in every latitude of life, the right-angled character of man.”

“It will be proper to take a review of the several sources from which governments have arisen, and on which they have been founded.”

“yeah me see myself as a revolutionary, would wouldn't want no help and imma take no bribe from no one and fight it single handed with music”

“The moralist and the revolutionary are constantly undermining one another. Marx exploded a hundred tons of dynamite beneath the moralist position, and we are still living in the echo of that tremendous crash. But already, somewhere or other, the sappers are at work and fresh dynamite is being tamped in place to blow Marx at the moon. Then Marx, or somebody like him, will come back with yet more dynamite, and so the process continues, to an end we cannot foresee.”

“The most excellent symbol of the people is the paving stone. One walks on it until it falls on one's head.”

“I always say to young fellows who consult me about the ministry, "Don't be a minister if you can help it," because if the man can help it, God never called him. But if he cannot help it, and he must preach or die, then he is the man.”

“The afternoon of a human life must have a significance of its own, and cannot be merely a pitiful appendage to life's morning.”

“You must elect your work; you shall take what your brains can, and drop all the rest. Only so can that amount of vital force accumulate which can make the step from knowing to doing. No matter how much faculty of idle seeing a man has, the step from knowing to doing is rarely taken. It is a step out of a chalk circle of imbecility into fruitfulness.”
