  • You missed,

    "My country is the world, and my religion is to do good"

    by far my favorite.

  • As a 5th grade teacher the most important thing I can instill in students: "little voices" make dramatic impacts on events. That's Paine's greatest gift to our country. His pamphlet ommon Sense, gave a vision to all colonists during great indecisive fear, 176 days before the Declaration. It still speaks to us today. Paine needs to be recognized as an intrical part of the American miracle.

  • “ The evil that has resulted from the error of the schools, in teaching natural philosophy as an accomplishment only, has been that of generating in the pupils a species of atheism. Instead of looking through the works of creation to the Creator himself, they stop short, and employ the knowledge they acquire to create doubts of his existence. They labour with studied ingenuity to ascribe.., and jump over all the rest by saying, that matter is eternal.”: The Existence of God--1810 Thomas Paine

  • Well, I was interested in learning more about Thomas Paine... turns our this is just a SPAM ADVERTISEMENT. Very misleading.

  • Next time it happens, I'm going to video it and post it up online. I'm sick of them violating my first ammendment rights. Its a HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATION. Especially when the information I spread is NOT abusive, IS NOT disruptive, IS NOT spam

  • CreativeQuotations, this wasn't aimed at you, but at Youtube. They are censoring me. Clearly violating my first ammendment rights

  • Youtube you can expect to hear from my attourneys if you keep censoring me

  • I have first ammendment rights
