Thomas Paine: American Crisis

Whether you admit it to yourself or not, all of Western Civilization is in crisis.

Perhaps a bit of history to remind those who may want some inspiration to carry on.  There are those who may want to give up.  Did Thomas Paine have this in mind?  It looks like he did.

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. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.
