"What a stupendous, what an incomprensible machine is man!
Who can endure toil, famine, stripes, imprisonment & death itself in
vindication of his own liberty, and the next moment....inflict on his
fellow men a bondage, one hour of which is fraught with more misery
than ages of that which he rose in rebellion to oppose"
Thomas Jefferson to Jean Nicholas Demeunier , Jan 24th. 1786.
