"I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death." (Iubesc un om ce poate zambi in necaz, care poate aduna putere din suferinta si care poate sa devina mai curajos prin reflectie. Apanajul mintilor mici e ca acestea sa scada, dar cel a carui inima e ferma si a carui constiinta aproba comportamentul sau, isi va urmari principiile pana la moarte.)
Thomas Paine
