More from Thomas Jefferson
- Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it.
- How much pain have cost us the evils which have never happened.
- Never buy what you do not want, because it is cheap; it will be dear to you.
- Never put off till to-morrow what you can do to-day.
- Never spend your money before you have it.
- Never trouble another for what you can do yourself.
