More quotes by Thomas Jefferson
So inscrutable is the arrangement of causes and consequences in this world, that a two-penny duty on tea, unjustly imposed in a sequestered part of it, changes the condition of all its inhabitants.
Thomas Jefferson
Force is the vital principle and immediate parent of despotism.
Thomas Jefferson
What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half the world fools, and the other half hypocrites. To support roguery and error all over the earth....

Thomas Jefferson
I sincerely pray that all the members of the human family may, in the time prescribed by the Father of us all, find themselves securely established in the enjoyment of life, liberty, and happiness.
Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson
An injured friend is the bitterest of foes.
Thomas Jefferson
Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends [life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness] it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government.
Thomas Jefferson
I feel much alarmed at the prospect of seeing General Jackson President. He is the most unfit man I know for such a place.
Thomas Jefferson
It is to secure our rights that we resort to government at all.
Thomas Jefferson
If science produces no better fruits than tyranny... I would rather wish our country to be ignorant, honest and estimable as our neighbouring savages are.
Thomas Jefferson
An enemy generally says and believes what he wishes.
Thomas Jefferson
Wisdom I know is social. She seeks her fellows. But Beauty is jealous, and illy bears the presence of a rival.
Thomas Jefferson
In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty.
Thomas Jefferson
