Mount Rushmore National Monument is located in South Dakota’s Black Hills. The sculptured figures of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln stand watch.
George Washington (1789-1797)
Happiness depends more upon the internal frame of a person’s own mind, than the externals in the world.
Thomas Jefferson (1801-1809)
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

That’s awesome on the real papers, Richard! I have several books of quotes I’ve cherished. I have Covid my friend so my time will be limited on here. I feel absolutely miserable. It hit so hard! I thought it was allergies and started running high fevers yesterday. Doing all the right things according to the Dr. But I know my Great Physician hears my prayers! You both stay blessed and safe!

Cherie, you need to visit. I’ve been there 3-4 times. Go early in the morning . . . small crowd and the sun in the east shines on these four great leaders.

That quote from Jefferson is so sobering

Indeed! Jefferson is looking forward in his thinking, which is sometimes brutally honest.
