Aristocracy has not been able to keep a proportionate pace with democracy  (Thomas Paine Quotes) As priestcraft was always the enemy of knowledge, because priestcraft supports itself by keeping people in delusion and ignorance, it was consistent with its policy to make the acquisition of knowledge a real sin  (Thomas Paine Quotes) I am sensible that he who means to do mankind a real service must set down with the determination of putting up, and bearing with all their faults, follies, prejudices and mistakes until he can convince them that he is right  (Thomas Paine Quotes) I know not whether taxes are raised to fight wars, or wars are fought in order to raise taxes  (Thomas Paine Quotes) It will be proper to take a review of the several sources from which governments have arisen, and on which they have been founded  (Thomas Paine Quotes) The first was a government of priestcraft, the second of conquerors, and the third of reason  (Thomas Paine Quotes) Everything wonderful in appearance has been ascribed to angels, to devils, or to saints. Everything ancient has some legendary tale annexed to it.
