“There is no long interval between the sense of thirst and the trickling of the stream over the parched lip; but ever it is flowing, flowing past us, and the desire is but the opening of the lips to receive the limpid, and life-giving waters.

The world has seen her great adversity.... Let then, the world see that she can bear prosperity; and that her honest virtue in time of peace is equal to the bravest virtue in time of war.” IfsWorldWarCountryAmericaPastCausesPrinciplesVirtueHonestInspireBearsFameEqualAmbitionFairsAdversityProsperityOpeningFirmTemperRemembranceSerene Author:Thomas Paine
