Thomas Jefferson
It is as useless to argue with those who have renounced the use of reason as to administer medication to the dead.
Thomas Jefferson
If by religion we are to understand sectarian dogmas, in which no two of them agree, then your exclamation on that hypothesis is just, that this would be the best of worlds if there were no religion in it.
Thomas Jefferson
Every male citizen of the commonwealth, liable to taxes or to militia duty in any county, shall have a right to vote for representatives for that county to the legislature.
Thomas Jefferson
He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
Thomas Jefferson
I advance with obedience to the work, ready to retire from it whenever you become sensible how much better choice it is in your power to make.
Thomas Jefferson
The patient, treated on the fashionable theory, sometimes gets well in spite of the medicine.

Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson

It is therefore imperative that the nation see to it that a suitable education be provided for all its citizens.
Thomas Jefferson
History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance of which their civil as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purposes.
Thomas Jefferson
Our attachment to no nation on earth should supplant our attachment to liberty.
Thomas Jefferson
Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
Thomas Jefferson
The sun - my almighty physician.
Thomas Jefferson
It is every Americans' right and obligation to read and interpret the Constitution for himself.
Thomas Jefferson
Let those flatter, who fear: it is not an American art. To give praise where it is not due, might be well from the venal, but would ill beseem those who are asserting the rights of human nature.
Thomas Jefferson
The Central Bank is an institution of the most deadly hostility existing against the principles and form of our Constitution.
Thomas Jefferson
