Jefferson suggested 'a little patience...'

Every once in a while a quote surfaces that is timeless, or possibly incredibly ahead of its time. Lately, I've been grabbing germane quotes and printing them on full page card stock to make mini posters. (Most people with computers and printers can do the same.) Then at opportune times and opportune places the poster can be put up in certain public locations. Some are very simple, like one with a clip-art of Jefferson that says, "Dissent is the greatest form of patriotism. -Jefferson"

I came across a quote by 19th century economist John Stuart Mill, and have likely insulted visitors to my office with a mini poster that that quotes Mill saying, "Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people... it is true that most stupid people are conservatives."

The following brief statement is attributed to Jefferson, but could have been written yesterday:

“A little patience and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people recovering their true sight, restore 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. But 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 at stake.”
--Thomas Jefferson

Feel free to copy and paste this to make your own mini poster for yourself or to place strategically in a public spot.

Bye for now,
