"A little matter will move a party,..." - Quote by Thomas Paine

“It is an affront to treat falsehood with complaisance.”

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

“It is important that we should never lose sight of this distinction. We must not confuse the peoples with their governments.”

“But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation.”

“Fellow countrymen: At this second appearing to take the oath of the Presidential office, there is less occasion for an extended address than there was at the first...The progress of our arms, upon which all else chiefly depends, is as well known to the public as to myself; and it is, I trust, reasonably satisfactory and encouraging to all. With high hope for the future, no prediction in regard to it is ventured.”

“A husband and wife may be divorced and go out of the presence and beyond the reach of each other, but the different parts of our country can not do this. They can but remain face to face, and intercourse, either amicable or hostile, must continue between them.”

“And the more you become aware of the unknown self - if you become aware of it - the more you realize that it is inseparably connected with everything else that is.”

“The illusion that we are separate from one another is an optical delusion of our consciousness.”

“Many marriages would be better if the husband and the wife clearly understood that they are on the same side.”
