More quotes by Thomas Jefferson
We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt.
Thomas Jefferson
The Bible is the cornerstone of liberty.
Thomas Jefferson
Resort is had to ridicule only when reason is against us.
Thomas Jefferson
To the corruptions of Christianity I am indeed opposed but not to the genuine precepts of Jesus himself. I am a Christian, in the only sense he wished any one to be sincerely attached to his doctrines, in preference to all others ascribing to himself every human excellence & believing he never claimed any other.
Thomas Jefferson
It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.
Thomas Jefferson
We are sensible of the duty and expediency of submitting our opinions to the will of the majority, and can wait with patience till they get right if they happen to be at any time wrong.
Thomas Jefferson
I hope the necessity will at length be seen of establishing institutions, here as in Europe, where every branch of science, useful at this day, may be taught in it's highest degrees.
Thomas Jefferson
Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost.
Thomas Jefferson
The worst day in a man's life is when he sits down and begins thinking about how he can get something for nothing.
Thomas Jefferson
Should look forward to a time, and that not a distant one, when corruption in this, as in the country from which we derive our origin, will have seized the heads of government, and be spread by them through the body of the people when they will purchase the voices of the people, and make them pay the price.
Thomas Jefferson
The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases.
Thomas Jefferson
It is as useless to argue with those who have renounced the use of reason as to administer medication to the dead.
Thomas Jefferson
The advocate of religious freedom is to expect neither peace nor forgiveness from [the clergy].
Thomas Jefferson
What has destroyed liberty and the rights of man in every government which has ever existed under the sun? The generalizing and concentrating all cares and power into one body, no matter whether of the autocrats of Russia or France, or of the aristocrats of a Venetian senate.
Thomas Jefferson
It is every Americans' right and obligation to read and interpret the Constitution for himself.
Thomas Jefferson
The construction applied . . . to those parts of the Constitution of the United States which delegate Congress a power . . . ought not to be construed as themselves to give unlimited powers, nor a part to be so taken as to destroy the whole residue of that instrument.
Thomas Jefferson
I have always said that a studious perusal of the sacred volume will make better citizens, better fathers, and better husbands.
Thomas Jefferson
A noiseless course, not meddling with the affairs of others, unattractive of notice, is a mark that society is going on in happiness. If we can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them, they must become happy.
Thomas Jefferson
When the heart is right, the feet are swift.
Thomas Jefferson
Every man has two countries: his own and France.
Thomas Jefferson
