Thomas Paine

"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." -- Thomas Paine

Thomas Paine said a *lot* of good stuff. I think most people should read more of his quotations and ideally more of his works.
