Switched At Birth? Common Sense and Comedy In America
A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice.
Thomas Paine

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from opposition; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach himself.
Thomas Paine



Lead, follow, or get out of the way.
Thomas Paine

Reason obeys itself; and ignorance submits to whatever is dictated to it.
Thomas Paine

The World is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.
Thomas Paine

War involves in its progress such a train of unforeseen circumstances that no human wisdom can calculate the end; it has but one thing certain, and that is to increase taxes.
Thomas Paine

We have it in our power to begin the world over again.
Thomas Paine

It's a Great Day For America, Everybody!

I started with the firm conviction that when I came to the end, I wanted to be regretting the things that I had done, not the things I hadn't.
