Lord Northampton

Famous quotes containing the words lord and/or northampton:

    ...the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
    Bible: Hebrew, 1 Samuel 2:3.

    [F]rom Saratoga [N.Y.] till we got back to Northampton [Mass.], was then mostly desert. Now it is what 34. years of free and good government have made it. It shews how soon the labor of man would make a paradise of the whole earth, were it not for misgovernment, and a diversion of all his energies from their proper object, the happiness of man, to the selfish interests of kings, nobles and priests.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
