Quote of the Day – Self Determination Edition

Posted on | March 21, 2010 | No Comments

The care of every man’s soul belongs to himself. But what if he neglect the care of it? Well what if he neglect the care of his health or his estate, which would more nearly relate to the state. Will the magistrate make a law that he not be poor or sick? Laws provide against injury from others; but not from ourselves. God himself will not save men against their wills.

~ Thomas Jefferson

Saw this on one of my friend’s Facebook pages. Too perfect for the day not to repost.
