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.
