THOUGHT OF THE DAY:

”There is a natural aristocracy among men. The grounds of this are virtue and talents.” But “there is also an artificial aristocracy founded on wealth and birth, without either virtue or talents…. The natural aristocracy I consider as the most precious gift of nature for the instruction, the trusts, and the government of society…May we not even say that that form of government is best which provides the most effectually for a pure selection of these natural aristoi into the offices of government?”

― Thomas Jefferson
