Thomas Jefferson
Nothing can be believed but what one sees, or has from an eye witness.
Thomas Jefferson
Ministers and merchants love nobody.
Thomas Jefferson
I extremely believe in luck, and I discovered more hard work, your luck as much
Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson
When you abandon freedom to achieve security, you lose both and deserve neither.
Thomas Jefferson
Never was so much false arithmetic employed on any subject, as that which has been employed to persuade nations that it is in their interest to go to war.
Thomas Jefferson
A lawyer without books would be like a workman without tools.
Thomas Jefferson
