Thomas Jefferson
The government you elect is the government you deserve.
Thomas Jefferson
If ever we are constrained to lift the hatchet against any tribe, we will never lay it down till that tribe is exterminated, or driven beyond the Mississippi... in war, they will kill some of us we shall destroy them all.
Thomas Jefferson
I steer my bark with hope in the head, leaving fear astern.
Thomas Jefferson
Man, once surrendering his reason, has no remaining guard against absurdities the most monstrous. . . .
