More quotes by Thomas Jefferson
Honesty and interest are as intimately connected in the public as in the private code of morality.
Thomas Jefferson
Old heads as well as young may sometimes be charged with ignorance and presumption. The natural course of the human mind is certainly from credulity to skepticism.
Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson
Victory and defeat are each of the same price.
Thomas Jefferson
Defend our liberties and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought hither out of many kindred and tongues.

Thomas Jefferson
How much pain they have cost us, the evils which have never happened.
Thomas Jefferson
Taste cannot be controlled by law. We must resist at all costs any attempt to regulate our individual freedoms and to legislate our personal moralities.
Thomas Jefferson
You have never by a word or a deed given me one moment's uneasiness on the contrary I have felt perpetual gratitude to heaven forhaving given me, in you, a source of so much pure and unmixed happiness.
Thomas Jefferson
To draw around the whole nation the strength of the General Government as a barrier against foreign foes... is [one of the] functions of the General Government on which [our citizens] have a right to call.
Thomas Jefferson
Above all things, lose no occasion of exercising your dispositions to be grateful, to be generous, to be charitable, to be humane, to be true, just, firm, orderly, courageous, etc. Consider every act of this kind as an exercise which will strengthen your moral faculties and increase your worth.
Thomas Jefferson
The sheep are happier of themselves, than under the care of wolves.
Thomas Jefferson
No man will labor for himself who can make another labor for him.
Thomas Jefferson
When tempted to do any thing in secret, ask yourself if you would do it in public.
Thomas Jefferson
Action will delineate and define you.
