Thomas Jefferson

Quoting Thomas Jefferson:

We are firmly convinced, and we act on that conviction, that with nations as with individuals our interests soundly calculated will ever be found inseparable from our moral duties, and history bears witness to the fact that a just nation is trusted on its word when recourse is had to armaments and wars to bridle others. (Inaugural Addresses of the Presidents of the United States)
