Jefferson Parish

Famous quotes containing the words jefferson and/or parish:

    I duly acknowledge that I have gone through a long life, with fewer circumstances of affliction than are the lot of most men. Uninterrupted health, a competence for every reasonable want, usefulness to my fellow-citizens, a good portion of their esteem, no complaint against the world which has sufficiently honored me, and above all, a family which has blessed me by their affections, and never by their conduct given me a moment’s pain.
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    My stardust melody, the memory of love’s refrain.
    —Mitchell Parish (1901–1993)
