I've read nearly everything he ever wrote, to include the posthumous "Grumbles from the Grave" published by his wife.

Thanks for that link.“It has been a source of great pain to me to have met with so many among [my] opponents who had not the liberality to distinguish between political and social opposition; who transferred at once to the person, the hatred they bore to his political opinions.” —Thomas Jefferson (1808)
