Thomas Paine

A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right.

Any system of religion that has anything in it that shocks the mind of a child, cannot be true.

Reputation is what men and women think of us; character is what God and angels know of us.

You have the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of England, the Presbyterians, the Wesleyans, represented in each school, and they are each to take alternate days.

It is hardly surprising that women concentrate on the way they look instead of what is in their minds since not much has been put in their minds to begin with.
