More quotes by Thomas Jefferson
The federal government is our servant, not our master.
Thomas Jefferson
Religions are all alike- founded upon fables and mythologies.
Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson
Every human being must be viewed according to what it is good for. For not one of us, no, not one, is perfect. And were we to love none who had imperfection, this world would be a desert for our love.
Thomas Jefferson
I have seen enough of one war never to wish to see another.
Thomas Jefferson
The great cause which divides our countries is not to be decided by individual animosities. The harmony of private societies cannot weaken national efforts.
Thomas Jefferson
As government grows, freedom recedes.
Thomas Jefferson
Nothing is unchangeable but the inherent and unalienable rights of man.
Thomas Jefferson
A free people [claim] their rights as derived from the laws of nature, and not as the gift of their chief magistrate.
Thomas Jefferson
When the subject is strong, simplicity is the only way to treat it.
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
