"The cause of America is in great..." - Quote by Thomas Paine

“Man must go back to nature for information.”

“Peace, which costs nothing, is attended with infinitely more advantage than any victory with all its expence.”

“Tears may soothe the wounds they cannot heal.”

“Let us rise up tonight with a greater readiness. Let us stand with a greater determination. And let us move on in these powerful days, these days of challenge to make America what it ought to be. We have an opportunity to make America a better nation.”

“The crude commercialism of America, its materialising spirit, its indifference to the poetical side of things, and its lack of imagination and of high unattainable ideals, are entirely due to that country having adopted for its national hero a man who, according to his own confession, was incapable of telling a lie, and it is not too much to say that the story of George Washington and the cherry-tree has done more harm, and in a shorter space of time, than any other moral tale in the whole of literature.”

“Too many people struggled, suffered, and died to make it possible for every American to exercise their right to vote.”

“I tell the truth through music. Other people tend to catch on and agree with my truth and it turns out we are all really similar.”

“Most men are of naught more use in their lives but as machines for turning food into sh*t.”

“People can fly. Some people fly higher than others, that's all.”
