Thomas Jefferson

I am not the same man I was 35 years ago. And I hope that five years and ten years from now, I'll be a better man, a more mature man, a wiser man, a more humble man and a more spirited man to serve the good of my people and the good of humanity.

Tentative efforts lead to tentative outcomes. Therefore, give yourself fully to your endeavors.
