Post the quotes that have had an impact on the way you think and act. Post your favorite ones. Post your funny ones.
I'll kick things off with a few of my favorite Jefferson Quotes:
"In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock."
I'm a great believer in luck and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.
"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."
"The beauty of the second amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it."
"I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend."
"Information is the currency of democracy."
"Millions of innocent men, women, and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burned, tortured, fined, and imprisoned, yet we have not advanced one inch toward uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half of the world fools and the other half hypocrites."
--Thomas Jefferson, America's 3rd President, Author of the Declaration of Independence, Lived 1762 to 1826. Personal Hero.
