It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.
From Thomas Jefferson
Power is not alluring to pure minds.
Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear.
I believe that every human mind feels pleasure in doing good to another.
The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers.
Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it.
