Thomas Jefferson
If we suffer ourselves to be frightened from our post by mere lying, surely the enemy will use that weapon for what one so cheap to those of whose system of politics morality makes no part?
Thomas Jefferson
Ambition is a tricky little animal to tame. It is very skillful at concealing itself from its master.
Thomas Jefferson
I shall rejoin myself to my native country, with new attachments, and with exaggerated esteem for its advantages for though there is less wealth there, there is more freedom, more ease, and less misery.
Thomas Jefferson
I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have.
Thomas Jefferson
