More From Thomas Paine
- "That God cannot lie, is no advantage to your argument, because it is no proof that priests can not, or that the Bible does not."
- "Every religion is good that teaches man to be good; and I know of none that instructs him to be bad."
- "He that rebels against reason is a real rebel, but he that in defence of reason rebels against tyranny has a better title to Defender of the Faith, than George the Third."
More In Freedom
- "You cannot parcel out freedom in pieces because freedom is all or nothing."― Tertullian
- "I don’t believe in firing professors. They have academic freedom."― Alan Dershowitz
- "Some of the companies we helped start are names you know. An office supply company called Staples – where I’m pleased to see the Obama campaign has been shopping; The Sports Authority, which became a favorite of my sons. We started an early childhood learning center called Bright Horizons that First Lady Michelle Obama rightly praised."― Mitt Romney
