Thomas Jefferson. (№ 294276)

As for the latest news, it seems that the European barbarians, intend to destroy each other. The Russo-Turkish war reminiscent of the battle between the vulture and the snake: who could anyone not destroyed, one destroyer in the world will be less. As you can see, militancy - the law of human nature, one of the obstacles to too rapid multiplication inherent in the mechanism of the Universe. The roosters in the chicken yard, killing each other, bears, bulls and sheep do the same, and a horse in the herd on the open air tries to score a hoof to death all the young contenders, until, exhausted by the fighting and a years, did not become a victim of some stallion. I hope we prove as beneficial for people the way of the Quakers and that the life of a breadwinner filled with more dignity than the life of a warrior. Some consolation may be that the extermination of mad men in one part of the world contributes to the growth of welfare in other parts. Let it be our care and let us milk the cow, while the Russian holding her by the horns, and the Turks by the tail.
