Barbra Quotes Thomas Jefferson: Patience
2004-11-08
Someone on her numerous staff must've found a Bartlett's
Posted on November 8, 2004
In response to the results of the Presidential election last week, I would like to share with you a quote from Thomas Jefferson. Although written in 1798, I feel his words speak perfectly to the strong sentiments of frustration and disappointment 48% of the country feel.

"A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to its true principles. It is true that in the meantime we are suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring the horrors of a war and long oppressions of enormous public debt......If the game runs sometimes against us at home we must have patience till luck turns, and then we shall have an opportunity of winning back the principles we have lost, for this is a game where principles are at stake."

#7  To quote the man in the picture:

"The only thing more dangerous than ignorance is arrogance."

And to quote a recent novel:

"And I would suggest that the combination of the two is even more dangerous".

#6  Notice she skipped over the part about which areas he was talking:
"If to rid ourselves of the present rule of Massachusetts and Connecticut, we break the Union, will the evil stop there?"
The quote is reversed. It could have applied better if Kerry had won.
