More From Thomas Jefferson
- "Conquest is not in our principles. It is inconsistent with our government."
- "Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital."
- "It is neither wealth nor splendor; but tranquility and occupation which give you happiness."
