"How much pain they have cost us,..." - Quote by Thomas Jefferson

“Every man wishes to pursue his occupation and to enjoy the fruits of his labours and the produce of his property in peace and safety, and with the least possible expense. When these things are accomplished, all the objects for which government ought to be established are answered.”

“The cement of this union is in the heart blood of every American. I do not believe there is on earth a government established on so immovable a basis.”

“We are not to expect to be translated from despotism to liberty in a featherbed.”

“Worrying is paying interest on a debt you might not even owe.”

“I am too busy. I have not time for worry.”

“Why worry about things you can't control when you can keep yourself busy controlling the things that depend on you?”

“Worrying is paying interest on a debt you might not even owe.”

“Worry is a complete waste of energy. It solves nothing.”

“...What torments of pain have you endured that haven't as yet arrived? and may never!”
