Sent by Thomas
Jefferson to his granddaughter Cornelia in 1811, when she was 12.
Never put off tomorrow what you can do today.
Never trouble another with what you can do yourself.
Never spend your money before you have it.
Never buy a thing you do not want, because it cheap, it will be dear to you.
Take care of your cents: Dollars will take care of themselves.
Pride cost us more than hunger, thirst and cold.
We never repent of having to eat too little.
Nothing is troublesome that one does willingly.
How much pain have cost us evils which have never happened.
Take things always by their smooth handle.
Think as you please and so let others, and you will have no disputes.
When angry count to 10. When very angry count to 100 (Jefferson).
