Odds against them didn't stop them, they were fools that way. All the good in this world came from fools with faith like that. You can't quit now. Not you.

They aren't all Taylors and Paines, their kind just throw big shadows. You didn't just have faith in Paine or any other man. It was bigger than that.

You had plain, decent, everyday common rightness. This country could use some of that. So could the whole cock-eyed world. A lot of it.
