Always a friend to peace, and believing
it to promote eminently the happiness and
prosperity of mankind, I am ever unwilling
that it should be disturbed until greater and
more imperious interests call for an appeal
to force. Whenever that shall take place,
I feel a perfect confidence that the energy and
enterprise displayed by my fellow citizens in
the pursuits of peace, will be equally eminent
in those of war.

Letter of Thomas Jefferson to Captain
Charles Christian, January 14, 1807
