Daily quote |
Thomas JeffersonNo occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth, and no culture comparable to that of the garden. None but an armed nation can dispense with a standing army. To keep ours armed and disciplined is therefore at all times important. Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude. Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances. Nothing is unchangeable but the inherent and unalienable rights of man. One loves to possess arms, though they hope never to have occasion for them. One man with courage is a majority. One travels more usefully when alone, because he reflects more. Only aim to do your duty, and mankind will give you credit where you fail. Our country is now taking so steady a course as to show by what road it will pass to destruction, to wit: by consolidation of power first, and then corruption, its necessary consequence. |
