"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"
Thomas Paine was known for his passionate and outspoken personality, characterized by a strong commitment to individual rights and social justice. He was a bold and persuasive writer, using his eloquence to rally support for revolutionary causes.

Thomas Paine is best known for his influential works such as "Common Sense," "The American Crisis," and "The Rights of Man." "Common Sense," published in 1776, argued for American independence from Britain and laid out the principles of democracy. "The American Crisis," a series of pamphlets, aimed to inspire the American colonists during the Revolutionary War. In "The Rights of Man," Paine defended the French Revolution and advocated for individual rights and government accountability.
""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.
