love it, thanks for sharing. Thomas Jefferson is my presidential crush, because of his intelligence & all the reminders we have on the L & C trail🇺🇸

one of my favorite quotes about TJ, from John F. Kennedy when they asked him to write a book about the president.

"Even though there have been several admirable works on Thomas Jefferson I quite agree with you that his varied contributions to American life are not as fully known as they should be. If I were not otherwise engaged I would be tempted to consider your proposal. My present job, however, takes all of my time so I must refuse.

Kennedy did find time, however, to famously salute the third President. In a famous toast at a White House dinner in honor of 49 Nobel Prize winners, Kennedy said, *“I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered together at the White House, with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.”*😎
