"My great wish is to go on in a strict but silent performance of my duty:
to avoid attracting notice and to keep my name out of newspapers,
because I find the pain of a little censure, even when it is unfounded,
is more acute than the pleasure of much praise."
~Thomas Jefferson~
Great quote, unfortunately Thomas Jefferson could not keep his name out of the newspaper.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm finding that Washington, Jefferson, and T. Roosevelt were very similar in that they couldn't stand criticism but still wanted power.
DeleteAn anonymous president? Good luck. Lol
ReplyDeleteThis quote was from before he was president.
