More From Thomas Paine

Never, i say, had a country so many openings to happiness as this.... her cause was good. her principles just and liberal. her temper serene and firm.... the remembrance then of what is past, if it operates rightly must inspire her with the most laudable of an ambition, that of adding to the fair fame she began with. the world has seen her great adversity.... let then, the world see that she can bear prosperity; and that her honest virtue in time of peace is equal to the bravest virtue in time of war.
Country War Adversity
We can work on inner peace and world peace at the same time. on one hand, people have found inner peace by losing themselves in a cause larger than themselves, like the cause of world peace, because finding inner peace means coming from the self-centered life into the life centered in the good of the whole. on the other hand, one of the ways of working for world peace is to work for more inner peace, because world peace will never be stable until enough of us find inner peace to stabilize it.
Peace Mean Self
Real prosperity comes from everybody in the country working together in a growth mode. real prosperity comes as a result of people's own initiative and efforts and so forth. prosperity, if it comes from the government, is not prosperity. it's an existence or a subsistence or whatever, but it isn't prosperity.
Country Real Government
Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.
Dream Prayer Liars
A few really dedicated people can offset the masses of out of harmony people, so we who work for peace must not falter, we must continue to pray for peace and to act for peace in whatever way we can. we must continue to speak for peace and to live the way of peace; to inspire others, we must continue to think of peace and know that peace is possible. what we dwell upon we help bring to manifestation. one little person giving all of her time to peace makes news. many people giving some of their time can make history.
Peace Thinking People
Perhaps peace is not, after all, something you work for, or 'fight for.' it is indeed 'fighting for peace' that starts all the wars. what, after all, are the pretexts of all these cold war crises, but 'fighting for peace?' peace is something you have or do not have. if you are yourself at peace, then there is at least some peace in the world. then share your peace with everyone, and everyone will be at peace.
