"These are the times that try men's souls."
"What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly"
"the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph"
Those are a few I'm sure about. Some that I'm less sure about are:
"If we reason to the root of things we shall find no difference"
"better have too much force that too little, when so great an object is at stake"

Was the Cuban missile crisis the bombing of cuba by the US?
No. That was what led to the crisis. The crisis was that Russia was putting some nuclear missiles in Cuba as a deterrent to the bombings.
Who said 'These are the times that try men's souls'?
""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 their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman." These words were written by Thomas Paine, propagandist extraordinaire. They are the first two sentences of the first volume of The Crisis, also known as The American Crisis, a series of sixteen pamphlets written by Paine, beginning shortly before the Battle of Trenton, which took place on December 26, 1776. Paine's writings improved morale at a time when it was much needed, when many people were doubtful about the probability of success; some were fearful of committing treason and others even thought that it was blasphemy, because Kings were thought to derive their power directly from God. Paine explained what the issues behind the Revolution were, and how important they were, in words that everyone could understand. His stirring words inspired the Colonials to fight on and even converted some of those who had previously been neutral.
What generalization can be drawn from Congress's willingness to pass the sedition act of 1918?

What role did propaganda play in the Revolution and what is an example?
Propaganda played an enormous role in the war in motivating people to fight. Some examples of this were Thomas Paine's pamphlets: Common Sense and The American Crisis. In the Valley Forge it was extremely cold and patriots were considering leaving the army. Then Thomas Paine wrote The American Crisis, which tells of why the soldiers should fight against the British and all tyranny: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 their country; but he that stands by 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. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.
What were some cons for the Cuban missile crisis?
