Here is the link for a free PDF copy of Thomas PAINE's "Common Sense" that was such a vital catalyst in starting the independence movement that lead to the Declaration of Independence. Notable quotes below.
"A long habit of not thinking a thing WRONG, gives it a superficial appearance of being RIGHT, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defence of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason.” Common Sense by Thomas Paine
"…however our eyes may be dazzled with snow, or our ears deceived by sound; however prejudice may warp our wills, or interest darken our understanding, the simple voice of nature and of reason will say, it is right.” Common Sense by Thomas Paine
"For myself, I fully and conscientiously believe, that it is the will of the Almighty, that there should be diversity of religious opinions among us: It affords a larger field for our Christian kindness. Were we all of one way of thinking, our religious dispositions would want matter for probation; and on this liberal principle, I look on the various denominations among us, to be like children of the same family, differing only, in what is called, their Christian names.” Common Sense by Thomas Paine
"In short, Independance is the only BOND that can tye and keep us together.” Common Sense by Thomas Paine
