Jefferson. There will never be a better, clearer, brighter mind than his.
Patrick Henry. “Give me liberty of give me death” he meant his words
I have issues with Jefferson. I would probably scold him for not having a safer stairway for the ladies (his daugthers, etal) to access the upstairs at Monticello. He used to be my favorite, yet having read a few books on him, I found him somewhat disappointing as a real person. He was brilliant with the written word, and very interested in all kinds of intellectual pursuits, yet as a businessman, he had little sense.
