Thomas Jefferson Quotes
The Most Fortunate Of Us, In Our Journey Through Life, Frequently Meet With Calamities And Misfortunes Which May Greatly Afflict Us; And, To Fortify Our Minds Against The Attacks Of These Calamities And Misfortunes Should Be One Of The Principal Studies And Endeavors Of Our Lives. The Only Method Of Doing This Is To Assume A Perfect Resignation To The Divine Will, To Consider That Whatever Does Happen, Must Happen; And That, By Our Uneasiness, We Cannot Prevent The Blow Before It Does Fall, But We May Add To Its Force After It Has Fallen. These Considerations, And Others Such As These, May Enable Us In Some Measure To Surmount The Difficulties Thrown In Our Way; To Bear Up With A Tolerable Degree Of Patience Under The Burden Of Life; And To Proceed With A Pious And Unshaken Resignation, Till We Arrive At Our Journey's End.
