"Yet the hour of emancipation is advancing ...
this enterprise is for the young;
for those who can follow it up,
and bear it through to it's consummation.
It shall have all my prayers, and
these are the only weapons of an old man." | by: | Thomas Jefferson
(1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President |
