Thomas Jefferson:
" I’m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more of it I have."
"In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock."
"Never trouble another for what you can do for yourself."
"The boisterous sea of liberty is never without a wave."
"Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances."
"Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations."
"Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it."
