Every quiet method for peace hath been ineffectual.

Explanation:

"Common Sense" was a pamphlet written by Thomas Paine in 1776.  In it, he incited the people in the Thirteen Colonies to demand for independence from Great Britain.  In succinct and persuasive prose, initially under the cover of anonymity,  Paine pointed out both moral and political arguments to encourage the colonists to demand for independence and fight for a democratic republic.  It galvanized the American Revolution with thought-provoking sermon-like persuasions.  Before then, the colonists were trying to reconcile with Britain without success.  Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" became an eye-opener for the need to be independent of Great Britain.

Historian Gordon S. Wood described Common Sense as "the most incendiary and popular pamphlet of the entire revolutionary era."
