More quotes by Thomas Jefferson
Good wine is a necessity of life for me.
Thomas Jefferson
Our wish is that...[there be] maintained that state of property, equal or unequal, which results to every man from his own industry or that of his fathers.
Thomas Jefferson
We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt.
Thomas Jefferson
It is to secure our rights that we resort to government at all.
Thomas Jefferson
He, who steadily observes those moral precepts in which all religions concur, will never be questioned at the gates of heaven as to the dogmas in which they all differ.
Thomas Jefferson
In a world which furnishes so many employments which are useful, and so many which are amusing, it is our own fault if we ever know what ennui [boredom] is, or if we are ever driven to the miserable resource of gaming, which corrupts our dispositions, and teaches us a habit of hostility against all mankind.
Thomas Jefferson
I believe we may lessen the danger of buying and selling votes, by making the number of voters too great for any means of purchase. I may further say that I have not observed men's honesty to increase with their riches.
Thomas Jefferson
I think all the world would gain by setting commerce at perfect liberty.
Thomas Jefferson
The general desire of men to live by their heads rather than their hands, and the strong allurements of great cities to those who have any turn for dissipation, threaten to make them here, as in Europe, the sinks of voluntary misery.
Thomas Jefferson
History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government.
Thomas Jefferson
Those characters wherein fear predominates over hope may apprehend too much from...instances of irregularity. They may conclude too hastily that nature has formed man insusceptible of any other government than that of force, a conclusion not founded in truth nor experience.
Thomas Jefferson
It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.
Thomas Jefferson
I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.
Thomas Jefferson
All authority belongs to the people.
Thomas Jefferson
Rebellion to tyranny is obedience to God.
Thomas Jefferson
Whatever enables us to go to war, secures our peace
Thomas Jefferson
Truth will do well enough if left to shift for herself. She seldom has received much aid from the power of great men to whom she is rarely known and seldom welcome. She has no need of force to procure entrance into the minds of men.
Thomas Jefferson
The price of barbecue is eternal vigilance.
Thomas Jefferson
We are sensible of the duty and expediency of submitting our opinions to the will of the majority, and can wait with patience till they get right if they happen to be at any time wrong.
Thomas Jefferson
The juries are our judges of all fact, and of law when they choose it.
Thomas Jefferson
