Extract from Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Leiper
| Monticello June 12. 15. |
not in our day; but at no distant one, we may shake a rod over the heads of all, which may make the stoutest of them tremble. but I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us that the less we use our power the greater it will be.
