"That there are men in all countries..." - Quote by Thomas Paine

“The more acquisitions the government makes abroad, the more taxes the people have to pay at home.”

“It is always to be taken for granted, that those who oppose an equality of rights never mean the exclusion should take place on themselves.”

“I prefer peace. But if trouble must come, let it come in my time, so that my children can live in peace.”

“From the errors of other nations, let us learn wisdom.”

“We wish the happiness and prosperity of every nation.”

“There is a rank due to the United States among nations which will be withheld, if not absolutely lost, by the reputation of weakness.”

“The United States of America is a threat to world peace.”

“Our conflict is not likely to cease so soon as every good man would wish. The measure of iniquity is not yet filled; and unless we can return a little more to first principles, and act a little more upon patriotic ground, I do not know when it will.”

“When truth kills truth, O devilish holy fray!”
