"These are the times that try men's souls." "However, the fault, if it were one, was all our own; we have none to blame but ourselves." "But no great deal is lost yet." "'Tis surprising to see how rapidly a panic will sometimes run through a country."
"Yet panics, in some cases, have their uses; they produce as much good as hurt." "All their wishes centered in one, which was, that the country would turn out and help them to drive the enemy back." "Look on this picture and weep over it! and if there yet remains one thoughtless wretch who believes it not, let him suffer it unlamented."
Thomas Paine "The crisis"
