From The Patriot Post:

The Patriot Post
Founders' Quote Daily

"I suppose, indeed, that in public life, a man whose political principles have any decided character and who has energy enough to give them effect must always expect to encounter political hostility from those of adverse principles."

-- Thomas Jefferson (letter to Richard M. Johnson, 1808)
