Thomas PaineLet them call me a rebel and welcome. I feel no concern from it. But should I suffer the misery of devils, were I to make a whore of my soul.
About This Quote
This quote speaks about the idea of taking responsibility for your actions. Today we often hear people say they want to be a rebel, but they refuse to take responsibility for their actions. A rebel does what he wants and doesn’t care if it’s wrong or right. He lets his feelings control him and his decisions.
That is not what a rebel does. A rebel thinks of the consequences of his actions before taking those actions. When those consequences are dark, he takes those actions with a clear and conscious mind and makes sure to suffer the misery of devils.
