Most of the Founding Fathers were brilliant men. Thomas Jefferson was a pure genius. Jefferson has commented on every aspect of human life and was correct about all of them.

One of his quotes are "A man who reads nothing is more intelligent than a man who reads nothing but newspapers."

This is incredibly true. People who read nothing but The New York Times believe themselves to be up on current events and believe everything they read in the editorials are as dumb as a rock.

Jefferson also gave beautiful quotes about G-d and the Christian faith.

Jefferson was truly one of the world's greatest thinkers.
