Favorite Quote:

"Let us restore to social intercourse that harmony and affection without which liberty and even life itself are but dreary things. And let us reflect that having banished from our land that religious intolerance under which mankind so long bled, we have yet gained little if we countenance a political intolerance as despotic, as wicked, and as capable
of bitter and bloody persecutions." - Thomas Jefferson

"Whatever is excessive is insignificant." - Charles Maurice de Talleyrand

"Those who stand for nothing fall for anything." - Alexander Hamilton

"A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval." - Mark Twain

"Tout cela est bien dit, mais il faut cultiver notre jardin." (That's all very well, but we must cultivate our garden.) - Voltaire (Candide)
