His connection to Jefferson is one of those things on my 'to do' list. Here are some links:
- [1]: "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal." These words, so close to the hearts of all true patriots of freedom, begin the second paragraph of the American Declaration of independence. But we must not attribute their origin solely to Thomas Jefferson, for these words are identical to those of Wawrzyniec Goslicki a Polish philosopher whose writings were to be found in Mr. Jefferson's library."
- [2] " the book finally has a significant effect on one of the great thinkers of those times - Thomas Jefferson. In his letter to James Madison he wrote that it was not his intention to create new ideas or sentiments that had not been expressed by anyone before him. What he wrote was quite true. This is because many of the thoughts and even expressions from "De optimo senatore" were transplanted by Jefferson directly into the United States Constitution"
If you are looking for academic references, check this and this. Google is your friend, although its my fault for not adding those refs to the article in the first place. Welcome to Wiki :) --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 02:08, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
