English - Activist January 29, 1737 - June 8, 1809

With the author

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

Thomas Paine

Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.

Thomas Paine

Those who want to reap the benefits of this great nation must bear the fatigue of supporting it.

Thomas Paine

Thomas Paine

And we declare this faith by the declaration of faith, where we... bear witness that there is no God but God.

Feisal Abdul Rauf

Hope looks forward. Faith knows it has already received and acts accordingly.

Florence Scovel Shinn

In the evening of life we shall be judged on love, and not one of us is going to come off very well, and were it not for my absolute faith in the loving forgiveness of my Lord I could not call on him to come.

Madeleine L'Engle

My explanation remains the same: It was an attempt to make the point that anyone who opposed the war can achieve their objective by working within their sphere of influence, whether their political party or community of faith.

Jim Moran

I believe in the literal rising of the body of Christ. It's the cornerstone of my Christian faith.

Francis Collins

Anybody who has been seriously engaged in scientific work of any kind realizes that over the entrance to the gates of the temple of science are written the words: 'Ye must have faith.'

Max Planck
