More quotes by Thomas Jefferson
Question with boldness even the existence of a God because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear.
Thomas Jefferson
Trial by jury is part of the bright constellation which leads to peace, liberty and safety.
Thomas Jefferson
The clergy believe that any power confided in me will be exerted in opposition to their schemes, and they believe rightly.
Thomas Jefferson
The late rebellion in Massachusetts has given more alarm than I think it should have done. Calculate that one rebellion in thirteen states in the course of eleven years, is but one for each state in a century and a half. No country should be so long without one. Nor will any degree of power in the hands of government prevent insurrections.
Thomas Jefferson
Difference of opinion leads to enquiry, and enquiry to truth and I am sure...we both value too much the freedom of opinion sanctioned by our Constitution, not to cherish its exercise even where in opposition to ourselves.
Thomas Jefferson
letters are not the first, but the last step in the progression from barbarism to civilisation.
Thomas Jefferson
Money, not morality, constitutes the principle of commercial nations.
Thomas Jefferson
It is better to have no ideas than false ones.
Thomas Jefferson
Force is the vital principle and immediate parent of despotism.
Thomas Jefferson
Peace, that glorious moment in time when everyone stops and reloads.
Thomas Jefferson
[States and the Federal government are] coordinate departments of one simple and integral whole... The one is the domestic, the other the foreign branch of the same government.
Thomas Jefferson
Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate than that these people are to be free. Nor is it less certain that the two races, equally free, cannot live in the same government. Nature, habit, opinion has drawn indelible lines of distinction between them.
Thomas Jefferson
Ambition is a tricky little animal to tame. It is very skillful at concealing itself from its master.
Thomas Jefferson
Of all the cankers of human happiness none corrodes with so silent, yet so baneful an influence, as indolence.
Thomas Jefferson
I am sure the man who powders most, perfumes most, embroiders most, and talks most nonsense, is most admired. Though to be candid, there are some who have too much good sense to esteem such monkey-like animals as these, in whose formation, as the saying is, the tailors and barbers go halves with God Almighty.
Thomas Jefferson
The price of barbecue is eternal vigilance.
Thomas Jefferson
How did Jefferson feel about the people of his day who were the equivalent of our modern day penecostals? You know, those revelation reveling tongue speaking idiots.
Thomas Jefferson
Those are governed best who are governed least.
Thomas Jefferson
...We are all Federalists,and we are all Republicans.
Thomas Jefferson
The opinions of men should not be the object of any government. Our civil rights are no more dependent on our religious beliefs than they are dependent upon our thoughts about geometry or physics!
Thomas Jefferson
