More quotes by Thomas Jefferson
The declaration that religious faith shall be unpunished does not give immunity to criminal acts dictated by religious error.
Thomas Jefferson
It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.
Thomas Jefferson
Where strictness of grammar does not weaken expression, it should be attended to. . . . But where, by small grammatical negligences, the energy of an idea is condensed, or a word stands for a sentence, I hold grammatical rigor in contempt.
Thomas Jefferson
Gouverneur Morris had often told me that General Washington believed no more of that system (Christianity) than did he himself.
Thomas Jefferson
Drawing ... is an innocent & engaging amusement, often useful, and a qualification not to be neglected in one who is to become a mother & an instructor.
Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson
It behooves every man who values liberty of conscience for himself, to resist invasions of it in the case of others: or their case may, by change of circumstances, become his own.
Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson
We need a revolution every 20 years just to keep government honest.
Thomas Jefferson
Though written constitutions may be violated in moments of passion or delusion, yet they furnish a text to which those who are watchful may again rally and recall the people they fix too for the people the principles of their political creed.
Thomas Jefferson
The government you elect is the government you deserve.
Thomas Jefferson
Truth between candid minds can never do harm.
Thomas Jefferson
Lethargy is the forerunner of death to the public liberty.
Thomas Jefferson
If some period be not fixed, either by the Constitution or by practice, to the services of the First Magistrate, his office, though nominally elective, will, in fact, be for life, and that will soon degenerate into an inheritance.
Thomas Jefferson
No man will ever bring out of that office the reputation which carries him into it. The honeymoon would be as short in that case as in any other, and its moments of ecstasy would be ransomed by years of torment and hatred.
Thomas Jefferson
Money, not morality, constitutes the principle of commercial nations.
Thomas Jefferson
