I've never been a huge Jeffersonian, but I found this quotation of his on a friend's blog and, after taking to it quite readily, I decided to share.
"On matters of fashion, swim with the current. On matters of principle, stand like a rock."
I would love to know the context of these words. Does Jefferson refer to political issues? Issues of religion? Or, perhaps, just fashion? -- we all know what dandies the Founding Fathers were, after all.
