P.S. "It neither picks my purse/pocket nor breaks my leg/arm if my neighbor believes in twenty gods or no god" was definitely a favorite saying of Thomas Jefferson, but as far as I know, there's no proof that he was the original author of this quotation. However, it is widely associated with him. И кто оригинальным автором ни был, я считаю эту цитату одной из самых важных идей, во всей истории человечества. (And no matter who the original author was, I consider this quotation to be one of the most important ideas in the whole history of mankind.)
