Thomas Jefferson
Every human being must be viewed according to what it is good for. For none of us, no not one, is perfect. And were we to love none who had imperfections, this world would be a desert for our love.
Perfect happiness I believe, was never intended by the deity to be the lot of any one of his creatures in this world. The most fortunate of us frequently meet with calamities which may greatly afflict us. And to fortify our minds against the attacks of these misfortunes should be one of the principal studies and endeavors of our lives.
I believe in the dreams of the future more than the history of the past.
