Citações de homens de Thomas Paine

“Eu não acredito na crença professada pela igreja Judaica, pela igreja Romana, pela igreja Grega, pela igreja Turca, pela igreja Protestante, nem por nenhuma igreja que conheça.

“Sempre que lemos as histórias obscenas, os deboches voluptuosos, as execuções cruéis e torturantes, e o espírito implacável de vingança com os quais mais de metade da Bíblia está preenchida, seria mais consistente que a chamássemos de a palavra de um demônio, do que de a Palavra de Deus. Trata-se de uma história de maldade, que serviu para corromper e brutalizar a humanidade; e, de minha parte, eu sinceramente a detesto, assim como detesto tudo que é cruel.”

“Alguns escritores de tal modo confundiram sociedade e governo, que entre os dois deixaram pouca ou nenhuma distinção; entretanto, não só são diferentes como possuem origens diversas. A sociedade é produzida pelas nossas necessidades, e o governo, pela nossa maldade; a primeira promove 'positivamente' a nossa felicidade, unindo as nossas afeições, enquanto o segundo o faz 'negativamente', refreando os nossos vícios. A primeira encoraja o intercâmbio, o segundo cria distinções. A primeira é uma patrocinadora, o segundo, punitivo.”

Part 1.3 Rights of Man
1790s, Rights of Man, Part I (1791)

“Some writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins. Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the former promotes our happiness POSITIVELY by uniting our affections, the latter NEGATIVELY by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first a patron, the last a punisher.”

“Whether, then, all ought not immediately to discontinue and renounce it, with grief and abhorrence? Should not every society bear testimony against it, and account obstinate persisters in it bad men, enemies to their country, and exclude them from fellowship; as they often do for much lesser faults?”

1770s, African Slavery in America (March 1775)

“You will do me the justice to remember, that 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 to another this right, makes a slave of himself to his present opinion, because he precludes himself the right of changing it.”

The Crisis No. II.
1770s, The American Crisis (1776–1783)

“Contemplating the universe, the whole system of creation, in this point of light, we shall discover, that all that which is called natural philosophy is properly a divine study— It is the study of God through his works — It is the best study, by which we can arrive at a knowledge of the existence, and the only one by which we can gain a glimpse of his perfection.
Do we want to contemplate his power? We see it in the immensity of the Creation. Do we want to contemplate his wisdom? We see it in the unchangeable order by which the incomprehensible Whole is governed. Do we want to contemplate his munificence? We see it in the abundance with which he fills the earth. Do we want to contemplate his mercy? We see it in his not withholding that abundance even from the unthankful. In fine, do we want to know what God is? Search not written or printed books, but the Scripture called the Creation.”

Case of the Excise Officers http://www.thomaspaine.org/essays/other/case-of-the-excise-officers.html, (1772) 1770s

“While the characters of men are forming, as is always the case in revolutions, there is a reciprocal suspicion, and a disposition to misinterpret each other; and even parties directly opposite in principle will sometimes concur in pushing forward the same movement with very different views, and with the hopes of its producing very different consequences. A great deal of this may be discovered in this embarrassed affair, and yet the issue of the whole was what nobody had in view.”

1790s, Discourse to the Theophilanthropists (1798)

“Despotic government supports itself by abject civilization, in which debasement of the human mind, and wretchedness in the mass of the people, are the chief criterions. Such governments consider man merely as an animal; that the exercise of intellectual faculty is not his privilege; that he has nothing to do with the laws but to obey them; and they politically depend more upon breaking the spirit of the people by poverty, than they fear enraging it by desperation.”

“All religions are in their nature kind and benign, and united with principles of morality. They could not have made proselytes at first by professing anything that was vicious, cruel, persecuting, or immoral. Like everything else, they had their beginning; and they proceeded by persuasion, exhortation, and example. How then is it that they lose their native mildness, and become morose and intolerant?”
