Ratings and Comments


Joe, Rochester, MI

Probably the most socialist comment I've read of Paine.

Dick, Fort Worth

One of the finest of quotations. How socialism is connected with the quote is beyond comprehension.

Anonymous, Raleigh, NC

This is my philosophy in life. Joe doesn't even know the definition of Socialism. Especially when he compares it to China or the Soviet Union.

Dan Cas, NJ

Great quote

Walt, Canton, OH

Hey Joe, think Buddhist, not socialist.

Jim Valent, San Francisco Nee Milwaukee

I first saw this quote in Paris in 1965. Under the quote was the comment "Thomas Payne, British by birth, French by Decree, and American by choice"
