Ok, here’s a list of some famous people born on January 29th.
Of note are comedian W.C Fields, hottie Heather Graham and possibly the most powerful woman in America, if not the world, Oprah Winfrey!
But, the absolute coolest on the list is Thomas Paine. One of the most important voices of American Liberty during our war for independence. If you don’t know much about him, you can read a lot about him here.
Here’s one of his more famous quotes:
“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 it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.”
That quote still holds a lot of truth even in today’s world!
