At last the American said: “Well, I guess the most wonderful thing I ever saw was when I crossed from France to England. A fellow divided off the harbor just as the boat was leaving, and followed us all the way over, arriving at Dover 5 minutes ahead of us.” But the Englishman was not to be beaten. “Quite right, he said, the fellow was me.”

His most outstanding achievement was as chief author of the Declaration of Independence, a statement of human rights and liberties. It was read to the happy people on the 4th of July, 1776.

He also drew up the constitution for his state, Virginia, and served as its go-

In one of his famous speeches he said: “And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of men.”
