Happy Birthday Thomas!!!

Today, Tuesday the 13th of April, is the birthday of Thomas Jefferson, third president of the United States of America (1801-1809). A good post by Krillix about him can be found here.
For the occasion I selected some quotes by Mr Jefferson:

"Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances."

"In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock."

"Never trouble another for what you can do for yourself."

"Never fear the want of business. A man who qualifies himself well for his calling, never fails of employment."

"Enlighten the people, generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like spirits at the dawn of day."

"Never spend your money before you have it."

"The advertisement is the most truthful part of a newspaper."

"Walking is the best possible exercise. Habituate yourself to walk very far."

"Banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies."

"Determine never to be idle... It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing."

"Do not bite at the bait of pleasure till you know there is no hook beneath it."

Thomas Jefferson
