Thomas Jefferson

I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have.

Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.

Doubts…often beget the facts they fear.

I cannot live without books.

I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have.

Nothing can stop the man with right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.

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

The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their rightful names.

The moment a person forms a theory, his imagination sees, in every object, only the traits that favor that theory.

A strong body makes the mind strong.

I’m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more luck I have.

I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have.

A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.

Do you want to know who you are? Don’t ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.

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.

It is neither wealth nor splendor, but tranquility and occupation, which give happiness.

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