Thomas Paine is still the one of the best. That is definitely one of the best quotes he made.

Here it is in full:

These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed, if so celestial an article as Freedom should not be highly rated. ~Thomas Paine~

Thank you hylander. His words are very meaningful and inspirational in these times.

No trouble. The words of the founding fathers are, along with the good book, are what helps to keep me focused, and when times seem even more dire and destitute, I have the memory of those who went before us to obtain, and promote liberty in the hearts and souls of Americans past.
