Thomas Jefferson
The construction applied . . . to those parts of the Constitution of the United States which delegate Congress a power . . . ought not to be construed as themselves to give unlimited powers, nor a part to be so taken as to destroy the whole residue of that instrument.
Thomas Jefferson
Never spend your money before you have earned it.
Thomas Jefferson
What justice would there be to take this life? Justice, gentlemen? Why, I would just as soon put a hog in the electric chair as this.

Thomas Jefferson
The day is not distant when we must bear and adopt [the abolition of slavery], or worse will follow.
Thomas Jefferson
