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,
