A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice

Paine is a great icon if you're an iconoclast. I'm reading the Wiki article on him, someone definitely needs to do a biopic, his life is rich with drama and action. They don't know where his bones are!

===Indeed...I was just glancing at biographies the other day about him, deciding which one to get (I have yet to decide, actually). Brilliant, courageous man.
