HELPPPP Which two excerpts in the passage supports the claim that Paine believed the cost of the colonists' struggle against the

British was well worth the outcome?
The Crisis, No. 1

by Thomas Paine (adapted excerpt)
. . . I turn with the warm ardor of a friend to those who have nobly stood, and are yet determined to stand the matter out: I call not upon a few, but upon all: not on this state or that state, but on every state: up and help us; lay your shoulders to the wheel; better have too much force than too little, when so great an object is at stake. Let it be told to the future world, that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive, that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet and to repulse it. Say not that thousands are gone, turn out your tens of thousands; throw not the burden of the day upon Providence, but "show your faith by your works," that you may be blessed. It matters not where you live, or what rank of life you hold, the effect or the blessing will reach you all. The far and the near, the home counties and the back, the rich and the poor, will suffer or rejoice alike. The heart that feels not now is cold; the children will criticize his cowardice, who shrinks back at a time when a little might have saved the whole, and made them happy. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles. My own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light. Not all the treasures of the world, so far as I believe, could have induced me to support an offensive, for I think it wrong; but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and threatens me, or those that are in it, and to "bind me in all cases whatsoever" to his absolute will, am I to suffer it?

Short essay on traveling is good as reading​
nadya68 [22]
<h3> <u>Travelling is good as reading</u>, as it provides you with the practical knowledge of a particular place. It also gives you knowledge, about various things and also makes you understand the beauty of nature, along with it also give you an idea of different lifestyles of every people belonging to different religions.</h3>

 As we know, each and every piece of information that we want to know are easily available in books and the internet. But most of us haven't seen it practically, because we are so much dependable on these things that our practical knowledge is zero. So, it is quite necessary for every one of us to get knowledge both in text and practically. So, that we can get to know each and everything in a prescribed manner.
