Reader comments about this quote:

I smile, everyone does have their own particular gifts and talents. -- Mike, NORWALK 1
Indeed, the Man of Common Sense is not, necessarily, so common in his constitution or capabilities. -- Patrick Henry, Red Hill 1
Or a great statesman... where are the brilliant minds of Jefferson, Washington, Adams, Franklin today? Americans have no New Worlds to migrate to. Liberty will have to be restored from within -- that's a lot harder than colonizing new lands. It is possible, but great statesmen are hard to find/be. -- E Archer, NYC 1
