"It is a faculty of the human..." - Quote by Thomas Paine

“War ought to be no man's wish.”

“For the fate of Charles the first, hath only made kings more subtle — not more just.”

“Nothing but heaven is impregnable to vice.”

“Five senses; an incurably abstract intellect; a haphazardly selective memory; a set of preconceptions and assumptions so numerous that I can never examine more than a minority of them - never become even conscious of them all.”

“No sanction can stand against ignited minds.”

“There are two types of mind . . . the mathematical, and what might be called the intuitive. The former arrives at its views slowly, but they are firm and rigid; the latter is endowed with greater flexibility and applies itself simultaneously to the diverse lovable parts of that which it loves.”

“Having each some shingles of thought well dried, we sat and whittled them.”

“A man of action forced into a state of thought is unhappy until he can get out of it.”

“Thought is a means of concealing Truth.”
