WORDS OF WISDOM FROM THOMAS PAINE
"An avidity to punish is always dangerous to liberty. It
leads men to stretch, to misinterpret, and to misapply even the
best of laws. He that would make his own liberty secure must
guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this
duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself."
Common Sense, July, 1795.
