Common Sense Quotes

I searched up who Thomas Paine was and he published a book called "Common Sense" and in doing so it made the people want to fight for their independence from Great Britain. In reading the quotes it caught my attention. Not only do these quotes relate to their era back then but it can also relate in today's society. In one quote it states, " Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its best state is but a necessary evil" This is very true because the government is so corrupted and hides so many things from society it makes you wonder what kind of things they are capable of doing. The government has too much power and I believe they over use that power. Another related quotes to this one is " Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness." The quotes talking about the government makes you wonder and question what the government has to hide and what mischief they are planning to do. I know the government was built to help and speak for the people but at one point that went down the drain. The government has always been sneaky and I don't think it will ever truly be honest with its people. 

I enjoyed reading these quotes because at of them brought up good points and I understand now why it brought people to fight for their independence. These quotes have real good messages and brought ideas to the public.
