More quotes by Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson
I will not believe our labors are lost. I shall not die without a hope that light and liberty are on a steady advance.
Thomas Jefferson
I think it is a great error to consider a heavy tax on wines as a tax on luxury. On the contrary, it is a tax on the health of our citizens.
Thomas Jefferson
While the principles of our Constitution give just latitude to inquiry, every citizen faithful to it will deem embodied expressions of discontent and open outrages of law and patriotism as dishonorable as they are injurious
Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson
No man will labor for himself who can make another labor for him.
Thomas Jefferson
Rebellion to tyranny is obedience to God.
Thomas Jefferson
Money, not morality, is the principle commerce of civilized nations.
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.
