From Thomas Jefferson

Begin forwarded message:

>>> This must be our mantra, even as we work harder every day:
>>>
>>> "A little patience," Jefferson wrote, "and we shall see the reign of
>>> witches pass over, their spells dissolved, and the people recovering
>>> their true sight, restoring their government to its true principles.
>>> It is true, that in the meantime, we are suffering deeply in spirit,
>>> and incurring the horrors of a war, and long oppressions of enormous
>>> public debt. ... If the game runs sometimes against us at home, we
>>> must have patience till luck turns, and then we shall have an
>>> opportunity of winning back the principles we have lost. For this is
>>> a game where principles are the stake."
