More quotes by Thomas Jefferson
I leave the world and its affairs to the young and energetic, and resign myself to their care, of whom I have endeavored to take care when young.
Thomas Jefferson
If we did a good act merely from love of God and a belief that it is pleasing to Him, whence arises the morality of the Atheist? ...Their virtue, then, must have had some other foundation than the love of God.
Thomas Jefferson
France, freed from that monster, Bonaparte, must again become the most agreeable country on earth. It would be the second choice of all whose ties of family and fortune give a preference to some other one, and the first choice of all not under those ties.
Thomas Jefferson
If we are made in some degree for others, yet in a greater are we made for ourselves.
Thomas Jefferson
no people can be both ignorant and free.
Thomas Jefferson
When the representative body have lost the confidence of their constituents, when they have notoriously made sale of their most valuable rights, when they have assumed to themselves powers which the people never put into their hands, then indeed their continuing in office becomes dangerous to the state
Thomas Jefferson
I am sure the man who powders most, perfumes most, embroiders most, and talks most nonsense, is most admired. Though to be candid, there are some who have too much good sense to esteem such monkey-like animals as these, in whose formation, as the saying is, the tailors and barbers go halves with God Almighty.
Thomas Jefferson
Taxes should be proportioned to what may be annually spared by the individual.
Thomas Jefferson
Every experience deeply felt in life needs to be passed along. Wheather it be through words and music, chiseled in stone, painted with a brush, or sewn with a needle, it is a way of reaching for immortality.
Thomas Jefferson
I am entirely persuaded that the agitations of the public mind advance its powers, and that at every vibration between the points of liberty and despotism, something will be gained for the former. As men become better informed, their rulers must respect them the more.
Thomas Jefferson
The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others.
Thomas Jefferson
Never buy what you do not want, because it is cheap it will be dear to you.
Thomas Jefferson
One travels more usefully when alone, because he reflects more.
Thomas Jefferson
I have no ambition to govern men it is a painful and thankless office.
Thomas Jefferson
Men as well as rivers grow crooked by following the path of least resistance.
Thomas Jefferson
[T]he people seem to have deposited the monarchical and taken up the republican government with as much ease as would have attended their throwing off an old and putting on a new suit of clothes.
Thomas Jefferson
For here we are not afraid to follow truth wherever it may lead.
Thomas Jefferson
As, for the safety of society, we commit honest maniacs to Bedlam, so judges should be withdrawn from their bench, whose erroneous biases are leading us to dissolution. It may indeed injure them in fame or in fortune but it saves the republic, which is the first and supreme law.
Thomas Jefferson
The several states composing the United States of America are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to their general government
Thomas Jefferson
Those who labor in the earth are the chosen people of God.
Thomas Jefferson
