“The sun never shined on a cause of greater worth. ‘Tis not the affair
\nof a city, a county, a province, or a kingdom, but of a continent- of
\nat least one eigth part of the habitable globe.
\n‘Tis not the concern of a day, a year, or an age; posterity are virtually
\ninvolved in the contest, and will be more or less affected even to
\nthe end of time by the proceedings now. Now is the seed time of continental
\nunion, faith and honor. The least fracture now will be like a name
\nengraved with the point of a pin on the tender rind of a young oak,
\nthe wound would enlarge with the tree, and posterity would read it
\nin full grown characters”. Tom Paine.
