Rebel
A rebel without a cause
Is a rebel that is free
and lives not under
any form of tyranny

"He that rebels against reason is a real rebel, but he that in defence of reason rebels against tyranny has a better title to Defender of the Faith, than George the Third."
Quote by~Thomas Paine
about Thomas Payne

"Credited with sparking the American Revolution"
The most fortunate of us, in our journey through life,
frequently meet with calamities and misfortunes which may greatly afflict us;
and, to fortify our minds against the attacks of these calamities and
misfortunes should be one of the principal studies and endeavors of our lives.
The only method of doing this is to assume a perfect resignation to the Divine
will, to consider that whatever does happen, must happen; and that, by our
uneasiness, we cannot prevent the blow before it does fall, but we may add to
its force after it has fallen. These considerations, and others such as these,
may enable us in some measure to surmount the difficulties thrown in our way;
to bear up with a tolerable degree of patience under the burden of life; and to
proceed with a pious and unshaken resignation, till we arrive at our journey's
end, when we may deliver up our trust into the hands of Him who gave it, and
receive such reward as to him shall seem proportioned to our merit.
