“These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.”
— Thomas Paine
Simplified Meaning:
This is a tough time that tests people's strength and spirit. Those who only support their country when it is easy will give up now. But the ones who stay loyal and help their country during this hard time deserve our gratitude and respect.
