Jefferson Told

Famous quotes containing the words jefferson and/or told:

    If the pulse of his people shall beat calmly under this experiment, another and another will be tried till the measure of despotism be filled up.
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    When our kids are young, many of us rush out to buy a cute little baby book to record the meaningful events of our young child’s life...But I’ve often thought there should be a second book, one with room to record the moral milestones of our child’s lives. There might be space to record dates she first shared or showed compassion or befriended a new student or thought of sending Grandma a get-well card or told the truth despite its cost.
    Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
