Thomas Paine's wife, Mary Paine, died in 1800. She was born in 1755, which would make her 45 years old at the time of her death. However, it's worth noting that there is limited information about her life, and some sources suggest she may have been significantly younger than that when they married.

Toleration is not the oppositeof intolerance but the counterfeit of it. Both are despotisms: the one assumes to itself the right of withholding liberty of conscience, the other of granting it.-- Thomas Paine, The Rights of Man [Excerpt]He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression.-- Thomas Paine, Dissertations on First Principles of Government (July 7, 1795), as quoted by Joseph Lewis in Inspiration and Wisdom from the Writings of Thomas Paine It is necessary to the happiness of man that he be mentally faithful to himself. Infidelity does not consist in believing, or in disbelieving, it consists in professing to believe what one does not believe.-- Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason (1794) I have always strenuously supported the right of every man to his own opinion, however different that opinion might be to mine. He who denies another this right makes a slave of himself to his present opinion, because he precludes himself the right of changing it.-- Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason (1794), thanks to Laird Wilcox, ed, The Writer's Rights (2002) p. 31
