Extract from Thomas Jefferson to William Short
| Monticello Oct. 31. 19. |
fortitude, you know, is one of his four cardinal virtues. that teaches us to meet and surmount difficulties; not to fly from them, like cowards. and to fly too in vain, for they will meet and arrest us at every turn of our road.
