“Tom Paine non ha quasi alcuna influenza sul pensiero odierno negli Stati Uniti perché è sconosciuto al cittadino medio.”

Originale

Tom Paine has almost no influence on present-day thinking in the United States because he is unknown to the average citizen.

The Philosophy of Paine (1925)
Contesto: Tom Paine has almost no influence on present-day thinking in the United States because he is unknown to the average citizen. Perhaps I might say right here that this is a national loss and a deplorable lack of understanding concerning the man who first proposed and first wrote those impressive words, 'the United States of America.' But it is hardly strange. Paine's teachings have been debarred from schools everywhere and his views of life misrepresented until his memory is hidden in shadows, or he is looked upon as of unsound mind.
We never had a sounder intelligence in this Republic. He was the equal of Washington in making American liberty possible. Where Washington performed Paine devised and wrote. The deeds of one in the Weld were matched by the deeds of the other with his pen.
