More quotes by Thomas Jefferson
It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.
Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson
A superintending power to maintain the Universe in its course and order.
Thomas Jefferson
Our liberty depends on freedom of the press.
Thomas Jefferson
In our early struggles for liberty, religious freedom could not fail to become a primary object.
Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson
Let the eye of vigilance never be closed.
Thomas Jefferson
To take a single step beyond the boundaries specially drawn around the powers of Congress is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible to definition.
Thomas Jefferson
In a government bottomed on the will of all, the... liberty of every individual citizen becomes interesting to all.
Thomas Jefferson
Ambition is a tricky little animal to tame. It is very skillful at concealing itself from its master.
Thomas Jefferson
