Never trouble another for what you can do yourself
The bloom of Monticello is chilled by my solitude.
I like to see the people awake and alert.
We are here lounging our time away, doing nothing, and having nothing to do. It gives me great regret to be passing my time so uselessly when it could have been so importantly employed at home.
Truth will do well enough if left to shift for herself.
The rights of the people to the exercise and fruits of their own industry can never be protected against the selfishness of rulers not subject to their control at short periods.
