He who made us would have been a pitiful bungler, if he had made the rules of our moral conduct a matter of science. For one man of science, there are thousands who are not. What would have become of them? Man was destined for society. His morality, therefore, was to be formed to this object. He was endowed with a sense of right and wrong, merely relative to this. ✨ Thomas Jefferson (1829). Memoirs, Correspondence, and Private Papers of Thomas Jefferson: Late President of the United States, p.216
