"The patriot, like the Christian, must learn to bear revilings and persecutions as a part of his duty; and in proportion as the trial is severe, firmness under it becomes more requisite and praiseworthy. It requires, indeed, self-command. But that will be fortified in proportion as the calls for its exercise are repeated." | Quote by: | Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President |
