Thomas Jefferson
A truth now and then projecting into the ocean of newspaper lies serves like headlands to correct our course. Indeed, my scepticism as to everything I see in a newspaper makes me indifferent whether I ever see one.
Thomas Jefferson
All... natural rights may be abridged or modified in [their] exercise by law.
Thomas Jefferson
We mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honour.
Thomas Jefferson
What we learn to do, we learn by doing.
Thomas Jefferson
It is strangely absurd to suppose that a million of human beings, collected together, are not under the same moral laws which bind each of them separately.

Thomas Jefferson
