积极的信息

杰弗逊的报价包括:“步行的目的是放松心灵”;“当你生气,你说话前数十下,如果很生气,到100年”;和“确定不被闲置。”Plus there's a strong message to be bold, stand up for what you believe in, make your own path in the world, and take risks. Also there's the notion that people should be free to practice whatever religion they like and that, as Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence, "All men are created equal."

积极的榜样

托马斯。杰佛逊是一个勇敢的人爱书和学习和感兴趣的是“一切”。An inventor and a visionary, he wrote the Declaration of Independence. As the United States' third president, he doubled the size of the country with the Louisiana Purchase. He sent Lewis and Clark on an expedition to explore the land from the Mississippi River to the West Coast, and he designed and built his great house and estate, Monticello. He was a great leader and a founding father of America but also a man of contradictions. He called slavery an "abomination" but enslaved 150 people and, "it is strongly believed," fathered several children with Sally Hemmings, an enslaved woman in his home, after his wife died.
