Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none.
I was bold in the pursuit of knowledge, never fearing to follow truth and reason to whatever results they led, and bearding every authority which stood in their way.
He who knows best knows how little he knows.
Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.
The most successful war seldom pays for its losses.
The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government.
Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it.
I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever.
I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.
