Founders' Daily Quote: 21 Oct 08

"In America, no other distinction between man and man had ever been known but that of persons in office exercising powers by authority of the laws, and private individuals. Among these last, the poorest laborer stood on equal ground with the wealthiest millionaire, and generally on a more favored one whenever their rights seem to jar."

--Thomas Jefferson (Answers to de Meusnier Questions, 1786); Reference: The Writings of Thomas Jefferson, Lipscomb and Bergh, eds., 17:8.

May you walk with the LORD always, and when you cannot take another step, may He carry you the rest of the way until you can walk along side Him again.
