More quotes by Thomas Jefferson
My principles, and those always received by the republicans, do not admit to removing any person from office merely for a difference of political opinion. Malversations in office, and the exerting of official influence to control the freedom of election are good causes for removal.
Thomas Jefferson
But a short time elapsed after the death of the great reformer of the Jewish religion, before his principles were departed from by those who professed to be his special servants, and perverted into an engine for enslaving mankind, and aggrandizing their oppressors in Church and State.
Thomas Jefferson
Nothing was or is farther from my intentions, than to enlist myself as the champion of a fixed opinion, where I have only expressed doubt.
Thomas Jefferson
Whenever you do a thing, act as if all the world were watching.
Thomas Jefferson
I have wished to see chemistry applied to domestic objects, to malting, for instance, brewing, making cider, to fermentation and distillation generally, to the making of bread, butter, cheese, soap, to the incubation of eggs, &c.
Thomas Jefferson
The merchant has no country .
Thomas Jefferson
A lawyer without books would be like a workman without tools.
Thomas Jefferson
It can never be too often repeated, that the time for fixing every essential right on a legal basis is while our rulers are honest, and ourselves united.
Thomas Jefferson
Congress errs in too much talking, how can it be otherwise, in a body to which the people send one hundred and fifty lawyers, whose trade it is to question everything, yield nothing, and talk by the hour?
Thomas Jefferson
History has informed us that bodies of men as well as individuals are susceptible of the spirit of tyranny.
Thomas Jefferson
I consider ethics, as well as religion, as supplements to law in the government of man.
Thomas Jefferson
Man is fed with fables through life, and leaves it in the belief he knows something of what has been passing, when in truth he knows nothing but what has passed under his own eyes.
Thomas Jefferson
The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
Thomas Jefferson
A determination never to do what is wrong, prudence, and good-humor, will go far toward securing to you the estimation of the world.
Thomas Jefferson
Never fear the want of business. A man who qualifies himself well for his calling, never fails of employment.
Thomas Jefferson
Let common sense and common honesty have fair play, and they will soon set things to rights.
Thomas Jefferson
[T]he true key for the construction of everything doubtful in a law is the intention of the law-makers. This is most safely gathered from the words, but may be sought also in extraneous circumstances provided they do not contradict the express words of the law.
Thomas Jefferson
I am not afraid of the priests. They have tried upon me all their various batteries, of pious whining, hypocritical canting, lying and slandering, without being able to give me one moment of pain.
Thomas Jefferson
Do not neglect your music. It will be a companion which will sweeten many hours of life to you.
Thomas Jefferson
In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty.
Thomas Jefferson
