"The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly. 'Tis dearness only that gives everything its value."
-- Thomas Paine

that's good stuff
Thomas Paine is in many ways my least favorite Founding Father. Remember reading some apoogetic attack of his against the inspiration of Scripture in college. Made me want to read Jefferson's Bible for a dose of orthodoxy.
But, darn it all, just sooooo quoteable.
"Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it."
--Thomas Paine
