This tumblr's title should not be taken as meaning there will be a new quote every day. When there is one, it's the quote of the day. Sorry (to the rest of the world) about it being so americentric, if that's a word. I'm just tired of the myth promotion and lies about America's Founding Fathers by ignorant people. Some quotes may not be exactly from Founding Fathers. I may throw in some Lincoln. It's my blog.

Ask me anything
I am among those who think well of the human character generally, I consider man as formed for society, and endowed by nature with those dispositions which fit him for society. I believe also, with Condorcet, as mentioned in your letter, that his mind is perfectible to a degree of which we cannot as yet form any conception. It is impossible for a man who takes a survey of what is already known, not to see what an immensity in every branch of science yet remains to be discovered, & that too of articles to which our faculties seem adequate.
Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Munford, June 18, 1799
