Learn about Thomas Paine's quote from The Crisis

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 it now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.....

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.  What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly. It is dearness only that gives everything it value.
