But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life, and thanks to a benevolent arrangement the greater part of life is sunshine (Thomas Jefferson Quotes)
Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing (Thomas Jefferson Quotes)
Difference of opinion is advantageous in religion. The several sects perform the office of a Censor - over each other (Thomas Jefferson Quotes)

For a people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well organized and armed militia is their best security (Thomas Jefferson Quotes)

In truth, politeness is artificial good humor, it covers the natural want of it, and ends by rendering habitual a substitute nearly equivalent to the real virtue (Thomas Jefferson Quotes)
It behooves every man who values liberty of conscience for himself, to resist invasions of it in the case of others: or their case may, by change of circumstances, become his own (Thomas Jefferson Quotes)
Leave all the afternoon for exercise and recreation, which are as necessary as reading. I will rather say more necessary because health is worth more than learning (Thomas Jefferson Quotes)
