More quotes by Thomas Jefferson
Good humor is one of the preservatives of our peace and tranquility.
Thomas Jefferson
We mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honour.
Thomas Jefferson
Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly.
Thomas Jefferson
Aristocrats fear the people, and wish to transfer all power to the higher classes of society.
Thomas Jefferson
besides the comfort of knowlege, every science is auxiliary to every other.
Thomas Jefferson
The man who loves his country on its own account, and not merely for its trappings of interest or power, can never be divorced for it, can never refuse to come forward when he finds that she is engaged in dangers which he has the means of warding off.
Thomas Jefferson
The late rebellion in Massachusetts has given more alarm than I think it should have done. Calculate that one rebellion in thirteen states in the course of eleven years, is but one for each state in a century and a half. No country should be so long without one. Nor will any degree of power in the hands of government prevent insurrections.
Thomas Jefferson
One man with courage is a majority.
Thomas Jefferson
As government grows, freedom recedes.
Thomas Jefferson
Never buy what you do not want, because it is cheap it will be dear to you.
Thomas Jefferson
Our rulers can have authority over such natural rights only as we have submitted to them.
Thomas Jefferson
Time indeed changes manners and notions, and so far we must expect institutions to bend to them. But time produces also corruption of principles, and against this it is the duty of good citizens to be ever on the watch, and if the gangrene is to prevail at last, let the day be kept off as long as possible.
Thomas Jefferson
No man has done everything he can who has done only his best.
Thomas Jefferson
The only foundation for useful education in a republic is to be laid in religion.
Thomas Jefferson
Question with boldness even the existence of a god.
Thomas Jefferson
Students of reading, writing and common arithmetick . . . Graecian [Greek], Roman, English and American history . . . should be rendered . . . worthy to receive, and able to guard the sacred deposit of the rights and liberties of their fellow citizens.
Thomas Jefferson
Be a listener only, keep within yourself, and endeavor to establish with yourself the habit of silence, especially in politics.
Thomas Jefferson
The issue for patents for new discovers has given a spring to invention beyond my conception.
Thomas Jefferson
For St. Paul only says that it is better to be married than to burn. Now I presume that if that apostle had known that providence would at an after day be so kind to any particular set of people as to furnish them with other means of extinguishing their fire than those of matrimony, he would have earnestly recmmended them to their practice.
Thomas Jefferson
Those are governed best who are governed least.
Thomas Jefferson
