I leave you the best phrases of Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States of America and one of the most prominent historical figures.
Jefferson (1743 - 1826) fought for democracy, republicanism and the inalienable rights of the individual, which motivated the American colonies to take up arms against the rule of Great Britain. In fact, he was part of the committee that wrote the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776.
After the American Revolution, Jefferson was Secretary of State to George Washington and Vice President under John Adams. In 1800 he rose to the presidency of the country, fighting ever since against the abusive trade policies of the British and marine piracy.
