Thomas Paine in Common Senseโฆ the pamphlet that turned a colonial rebellion into a revolutionary war for independence and the making of a democratic republic:
O ye that love mankind! Ye that dare oppose, not only the tyranny, but the tyrant, stand forth! Every spot of the old world is overrun with oppression. Freedom hath been hunted round the globe. Asia, and Africa, have long expelled her--Europe regards her like a stranger, and England hath given her warning to depart. O! receive the fugitive, and prepare in time an asylum for mankind.

@harveyjkaye This quote from FDR and Thomas Paine's about being able to make the world new again are my favorites. It takes being fairly radical to make the world new again.
They had come to hear Jesus and to be healed of their diseases, and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured. Luke 6:18 https://t.co/7rRzMd39RQ
And this city shall be to me a name of joy, a praise, and a glory before all the nations of the earth who shall hear of all the good that I do for them. โจJeremiah 33:9 https://t.co/7rRzMd2C2i
@harveyjkaye I'm returning, again, to Thomas Paine: We have it in our power to begin the world over again. We do, if we unite in the way you have outlined here. I am certain of this.
