Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson
When the people are afraid of the government, that's tyranny. But when the government is afraid of the people, that's liberty.
Thomas Jefferson
When the subject is strong, simplicity is the only way to treat it.
Thomas Jefferson

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
Whenever there are in any country uncultivated lands and unemployed poor, it is clear that the laws of property have been so far extended as to violate natural right. The earth is given as a common stock for man to labor and live on. The small landowners are the most precious part of a state
Thomas Jefferson
Nothing but a necessity invincible by any other means can justify ... a prostitution of laws, which constitute the pillars of our whole system of jurisprudence.
Thomas Jefferson
I am not among those who fear the people. They, and not the rich, are our dependence for continued freedom.
Thomas Jefferson
I prefer to be remembered for what I have done for others, not what others have done for me.
Thomas Jefferson
