I agree the quotation doesn't ring true, but are you in a position to
ask the speaker you heard for his or her source?

Subject: TJ quotation citation
I was recently at a presentation where the speaker used an unfamiliar
Jefferson quotation and I have had no luck tracking down its citation. A
Google search led to 359,000 sites, but alas none of them on the first 5
pages gives me a citation. I have also checked the Jefferson Cyclopedia
and
staff at Monticello.
Does anyone recognize this quotation and can you tell me from where it
comes:
"In matters of principle, stand like a rock; in matters of taste, swim
with
the current."
Thanks,
