About This Quote
In this quote, Thomas Paine makes a strong statement about the meaning of liberty, and the pursuit of it. He states that liberty is a compass needle, and that we should live by it, seek it out equally for ourselves as for others, and observe its tenets and principles. In other words, we should be true to the principles that have formed our country and formed our very being. It is a notion that has been lost in today's culture.
