Kalau marah, berhitunglah sampai sepuluh sebelum berbicara, atau bahkan seratus kalau sedang marah sekali. - Thomas Jefferson

In the North they are
cool
sober
laborious
persevering
independent
jealous of their own liberties, and just to those of others
interested
chicaning
superstitious and hypocritical in their religion

indolent unsteady

zealous for their own liberties, but trampling on those of others.
generous
candid
without attachment or pretensions to any religion but that of the heart.
