Thomas Jefferson's words to live by

If I were Britney Spears, I might say something like this:

Oh my god y'all....like Thomas Jefferson was smart. For Reals!
Check it:
Never put off till to-morrow what you can do to-day.
Never trouble another for what you can do yourself.
Never spend your money before you have it.
Never buy what you do not want, because it is cheap; it will be dear to you.
Pride costs us more than hunger, thirst, and cold.
We never repent of having eaten too little.
Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly.
How much pain have cost us the evils which have never happened.
Take things always by their smooth handle.
When angry, count ten, before you speak; if very angry, a hundred.

I was looking up something on good ol' TJ for something i might be doing and came across that list of ten.
I'm not really a quote kinda girl, but that seems like some smart advice. Right Britney?

Fo' shizzle.
