The Human Community


Quotation by Tom Paine:

"When shall it be said in any

country of the world, my poor are

happy; neither ignorance or distress

is to be found among them; my jails

are empty of prisoners, my streets

of beggars; the aged are not in

want, the taxes are not

oppressive...when these things can

be said, then may that country

boast of its constitution and

government."
~ Thomas Paine
