"These are the times that try men's souls; the summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph."
Thomas Paine continues to be relevant to this day. His Liberty or Death speech before the 2nd Virginia Convention, American Crises and Common Sense need to be memorized by every Patriot. He is my go to source when I need a bump of hopium or national pride. My all time favorite Patriot.
