Every child born into the world must be considered as deriving its existence from God. The world is as new to him as it was to the first man that existed, and his natural right in it is of the same kind.

Additional quotes by Thomas Paine

Those who knew Benjaman Franklin will recollect, that his mind was ever young; his temper ever serene; science, that never grows grey, was always his mistress. He was never without an object; for when we cease to have an object we become like an invalid in an hospital waiting for death.

Peygamberlik de Mucize gibidir. Gerçek bile olsa amaca hizmet etmemektedir. Peygamberliğini ilan eden kişinin yalan söyleyip söylemediği, gördüğünü söylediği şeylerin vahiy mi yoksa uydurma mı olduğu anlaşılamaz; peygamberlik olarak adlandırdığı ya da peygamberlik adı altında ileri sürdüğü şey gerçekleşirse ya da sayısız günlük olay arasında onun iddia ettiği şeylerden biri doğru çıkarsa, bunu önceden bilip bilmediği, tahmin edip etmediği, rastlantı olup olmadığı da anlaşılamaz. Dolayısıyla peygamber yararsız ve gereksiz bir karakterdir; bu konuda dayatmalarla karşılaşmamanın en emin yolu bu tür düşüncelere ödün vermemektir.
