More quotes by Thomas Jefferson
Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly.
Thomas Jefferson
Nature intended me for the tranquil pursuits of science, by rendering them my supreme delight. But the enormities of the times in which I have lived, have forced me to take a part in resisting them, and to commit myself on the boisterous ocean of political passions.
Thomas Jefferson
No man will ever carry out of the Presidency the reputation which carried him into it.
Thomas Jefferson
If we cannot secure all our rights, let us secure what we can.
Thomas Jefferson
When tempted to do any thing in secret, ask yourself if you would do it in public.
Thomas Jefferson
If ignorance is bliss, why aren't more people happy?
Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson
The Giver of life gave it for happiness and not for wretchedness.
Thomas Jefferson
Hemp is one of the greatest, most important substances of our nation
Thomas Jefferson
Planting is one of my great amusements, and even of those things which can only be for posterity, for a Septuagenary has no right to count on any thing but annuals.
Thomas Jefferson
I have never been able to conceive how any rational being could propose happiness to himself from the exercise of power over others... An honest man can feel no pleasure in the exercise of power over his fellow citizens.... Power is not alluring to pure minds and is not with them the primary principle of contest.
Thomas Jefferson
The good opinion of mankind, like the lever of Archimedes, with the given fulcrum, moves the world.
Thomas Jefferson
Too old to plant trees for my own gratification, I shall do it for my posterity.
Thomas Jefferson
Every honest man will suppose honest acts to flow from honest principles, and the rogues may rail without intermission.
Thomas Jefferson
I was bold in the pursuit of knowledge, never fearing to follow truth and reason to whatever results they led, and bearding every authority which stood in their way.
Thomas Jefferson
We have no right to prejudice another in his civil enjoyments because he is of another church.
Thomas Jefferson
It is a [disputed] question, whether the circulation of paper, rather than of specie [gold and silver coin], is a good or an evil I believe it to be one of those cases where mercantile clamor will bear down reason, until it is corrected by ruin.
Thomas Jefferson
We never repent of having eaten too little.
Thomas Jefferson
