...as we are running the next generation into debt, we ought to do the work of it, otherwise we use them meanly and pitifully. In order to discover the line of our duty rightly, we should take our children in our hand, and fix our station a few years farther into life; that eminence will present a prospect, which a few present fears and prejudices conceal from our sight. -Thomas Paine, Common Sense Paine Collected Writings.

With all that's going on in Congress these days, I just needed a little Common Sense:
The more men have to lose, the less willing are they to venture. The rich are in general slaves to fear, and submit to courtly power with the trembling duplicity of a Spaniel. -Thomas Paine, Common Sense Paine Collected Writings.
