I was recently reminded (thanks Lew) of something that is both thought provoking and inspirational at a time like this.

Thomas Jefferson's epitaph, written by him beforehand, which documents the achievements that he was the most proud of, makes no mention to his presidency.

HERE WAS BURIED THOMAS JEFFERSON
AUTHOR OF THE DECLARATION OF AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE
THE STATUTE OF VIRGINIA FOR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
AND FATHER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA

That was one of the best sites I saw at Monticello.

He's probably on YouTube watching RP vids right now.
