For Jefferson, wisdom was the result of a lifetime of study and observation. He possessed one of the largest personal libraries in America and was a polymath interested in everything from architecture to agriculture. He taught that 'he who knows best knows how little he knows. ' His wisdom was practical and forward-looking, always emphasizing the importance of adapting laws and ideas to the needs of the living generation. 'The earth belongs in usufruct to the living. '
