Thomas Paine was born in Norfolk, England, on

January 29, 1737. He received a basic education in history,

mathematics, and science, but left school at age 13 to apprentice

in his father's corsetmaking shop. In 1757, he spent time at sea

aboard the privateer ship King of Prussia, and later found

employment as a journeyman staymaker in London. All the while,

Paine continued to study on his own, influenced by the work of two

leading figures of the Enlightenment, Isaac Newton and John Locke.

He began writing political pamphlets, and at the urging of Benjamin

Franklin, emigrated to Philadelphia in 1774 to work as an editor

for The Pennsylvania Magazine. In 1776, he published Common Sense,

which called for America's political freedom from England. The

pamphlet sold more than 150,000 copies in three months. Paine next

published The American Crisis during the Revolutionary War,

inspiring George Washington to read it to his troops at Valley

Forge. By the end of the Revolution, however, Paine's influence had

run its course, and he fell out of political favor. He returned to

Europe, where he published his treatise Rights of Man, which led to

his arrest on charges of high treason. Disillusioned with life

abroad, he returned to the U.S. to find himself vilifed as an

agitator and atheist. He died in obscurity in New York City in

1809.

“他有《常识》，反抗那时的政治传统；他有《人的权利》，反抗社会传统；他有《土地正义论》，反抗的是经济传统；最后有《理性时代》，反抗的是宗教传统。这样一来，他就把那个年头能得罪的人类权势力量都得罪完了。他从地上打到天上，横扫俗界国王之后，又向灵界国王宣战，最后激起天怨人怨，自然要落个遗骨飘零，死无葬身之地的悲惨下场。其实，他既然死无葬身之地，生亦不该享有国籍，他是世界公民，属于新旧大陆上一切爱好民主的民族。他既不能为他那个时代充分理解和接受，就该让他归属于历史。他来到这个世界时，是个贫民；离去时还是一贫如洗，没有一个亲人，没有一穴坟墓，真可谓‘赤条条来去’。他完全可以用他的笔使自己成为百万富翁，因为在他那个时代，没有一个人的作品获得像他那样广泛的销路。可是他分文不取，把全部稿酬捐给英、美、法三国的民主事业。这样一个无畏无私的人，才称得上真正的’两个世界的英雄‘。”

社会源于我们的欲望，而政府来自我们的邪恶。

任何事物越是简单，便越不容易发生紊乱，并且即使发生紊乱也比较容易加以补救。

社会源于我们的欲望，而政府来自我们的邪恶。前者用美好的情感使人们结合起来，积极地增进我们的幸福，后者则通过抑制我们的恶行来消极地增进我们的幸福。一者鼓励交流，一者制造差别；前者是庇护人，后者是惩罚者。

哪怕是绝顶讲究的文字，如果所描述的是一种绝不可能存在的事情，或者是一种颇为费解而无法描述的事情，也只能是一堆响亮的字眼，他们固然好听，却缺乏思想内容。

既然较重的秤砣总会称起分量较小的东西，既然一架机器的各个轮子都由一个轮子推动，我们还需要知道的，就是这个政体中哪一种权力最为重要，因为那种权力将起着支配作用；虽然其他的权力，或其中的一部分，可以阻碍或所谓牵制它的运转的速度，但是只要它们无法使它停止，它们的努力总是白费的：第一个动力终将为所欲为，而它在速度上感到不足时，在时间上可以得到弥补。

一个眷恋娼妓的男子是不配选择或品评妻子的，同样地，任何一个赞成腐朽政体的成见也将使我们不能识别一个好的政体。

对于社会，同时在上帝的眼中，一个普通的诚实人要比从古到今所有加冕的坏蛋更有价值。

同世界各国抗争与我们有什么关系？我们的目的是通商，如果妥善从事，它将为我们赢得整个欧洲的和平与友谊；因为整个欧洲所关心的，是北美成为一个自由港。它的贸易将永远是一种屏障，

北美的真正利益在于避开欧洲的各种纷争，如果它由于对英国处于从属地位，变成英国政治天平上的一个小小的砝码，它将永远不能置身于纷争之外。

上帝把英国放在远离北美的位置上，也顺理成章地和有力的证明出，英国对美国享有权能这一点，绝不是上苍的意图。
