"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Happy birthday, Jefferson.

Peale, Thomas Jefferson, 1793


Thomas Jefferson was born on this day in 1743.

Do not talk about what you have done or what you are going to do.  Power is not alluring to pure minds.

Thomas Jefferson
