a little Thomas Paine.... “ ‘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. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated.’” Beck, Glenn (2010-06-03). The Overton Window (Kindle Locations 2230-2235). Threshold Editions. Kindle Edition.
