Chapter 24

If you will read one book a year, you will actually be above average. If you read one a month, you will enter the top percentile. As too often happens to us human beings, the easy access to books and information has diminished their worth in our minds.

—Jim Stovall

Recently I visited Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson, located near Charlottesville, Virginia. I was not only impressed with Jefferson’s estate that included innovative architecture and gardens, but also with the emphasis that he placed on his library and personal correspondence. The only conclusion one could reach from touring his home and listening to the guides recant history was that President Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, took democracy seriously and wanted to educate people as to the process that would ensure liberty for them and for their descendents. The self- evident truths that Mr. Jefferson related are not always self-evident, or practiced, as we know from countries still having civil and foreign conflicts. But these truths are the cornerstone for advanced civilizations.

Hear, hear, Mr. President!
