Thomas Jefferson
  • Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.

  • I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us, that the less we use our power the greater it will be.

  • Wisdom I know is social. She seeks her fellows. But Beauty is jealous, and illy bears the presence of a rival.

  • So confident am I in the intentions, as well as wisdom, of the government, that I shall always be satisfied that what is not done, either cannot, or ought not to be done.
