Jefferson on Doing His Country the Most Good

by | Aug 11, 2011 | Quotes, Thomas Jefferson | 0 comments

Thomas Jefferson wrote that:

He who would do his country the most good…must go quietly with the prejudices of the majority until he can lead them into reason

It’s a good reminder that in politics, we need leaders who will be patient, practical, and not dogmatic.
