what you can expect
Marilyn Ferguson observed, "no one can persuade another to change. each of us guards a gate of change that can only be opened from the inside. we cannot open the gate of another, either by argument or by emotional appeal."
美国作家弗格森:谁也无法说服他人改变,因为我们每个人都守着一扇只能从内开启的改变之门,不论动之以情或说之以理,我们都不能替别人开门。

Thomas Paine, "that which we obtain too easily, we esteem too lightly. it is dearness only which gives everthing its value. heaven knows how to put a proper price on its goods."
托马斯·潘恩(Thomas Paine):英裔美国思想家、作家、政治活动家、理论家、革命家、激进民主主义者。生于英国诺福克郡,曾继承父业做过裁缝,后来做过教师、税务官员,后来投身欧美革命运动。1792年他被选入法国国民公会。1802年在杰斐逊总统的邀请下,潘恩返回美国。1809年6月8日在纽约格林尼治村林苑路59号去世,享年72岁。
美国独立战争期间,他撰写了铿锵有力并广为流传的小册子《常识》极大地鼓舞了北美民众的独立情绪,也被广泛视为美国开国元勋之一。后来受到法国大革命影响,潘恩撰写了《人的权利》,成为启蒙运动的指导作品之一。
今日之美国是自由民主的代名词,而最早提出“自由民主论”的,便是这位“美国体制之父”,他将半生心血,都倾注在《常识》这本不到50页的政论小册子里。
美利坚合众国的国家名称也出自潘恩。
英国囚犯、美国精神领袖、法国革命者,这三个词,足以概括潘恩的一生
