Thomas Jefferson Ten Rules

September 18, 2008 | 1 Comment

I’m back from a three week vacation in the United States. We went to North Carolina for over two weeks where we shared our time between the Outer Banks and the Appalachains Montains (I love this State more and more everytime I get a chance to see more of it). Anyway, there will be pictures coming soon about all this when we setup a Flickr account.

What I was coming to were the Thomas Jefferson’s ten rules which I read at the National Archives Store in Washington D.C.

  1. Never put off tomorrow what you can do today.
  2. Never trouble another for what you can do yourself.
  3. Never spend your money before you have earned it.
  4. Never buy what you don’t want because it is cheap.
  5. Pride costs more than hunger, thirst and cold.
  6. We seldom repent of having eaten too little.
  7. Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly.
  8. How much pain the evils have cost us that never happened.
  9. Take things always by the smooth handle.
  10. When angry, count ten before you speak, if very angry, count a hundred.

Smart guidelines there…
