Thomas Jefferson
So confident am I in the intentions, as well as wisdom, of the government, that I shall always be satisfied that what is not done, either cannot, or ought not to be done.
Thomas Jefferson
The constitutional freedom of religion is the most inalienable and sacred of all human rights
Thomas Jefferson
He who lights his [candle] at mine receives light without darkening me.
Thomas Jefferson
