Thomas Jefferson
The Christian religion is the best religion that has ever been given to man
Thomas Jefferson
No duty the Executive had to perform was so trying as to put the right man in the right place.
Thomas Jefferson
If the children are untaught, their ignorance and vices will in future life cost us much dearer in their consequences than it would have done in their correction by a good education.
Thomas Jefferson
Pride costs us more than hunger, thirst, and cold.
Thomas Jefferson
God grant that men of principle shall be our principal men.
