Men of high learning and abilities are few in every country and by taking in those who are not so, the able part of the body have their hands tied by the unable.
Thomas Jefferson
Never [enter] into dispute or argument with another. I never yet saw an instance of one of two disputants convincing the other by argument. I have seen many on their getting warm, becoming rude and shooting one another.
Thomas Jefferson
The federal government is our servant, not our master.
Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson

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
The price of barbecue is eternal vigilance.
Thomas Jefferson
The only security of all is in a free press.
Thomas Jefferson
The cement of this union is the heart-blood of every American.
Thomas Jefferson
It is in our lives and not our words that our religion must be read.
Thomas Jefferson
As government grows, freedom recedes.
Thomas Jefferson
When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.
Thomas Jefferson
I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us, that the less we use our power the greater it will be.
Thomas Jefferson
