More quotes by Thomas Jefferson
We have already given in example one effectual check to the dog of war by transferring the power of letting him loose from the Executive to the Legislative body
Thomas Jefferson
The press is impotent when it abandons itself to falsehood.
Thomas Jefferson
Truth will do well enough if left to shift for herself. She seldom has received much aid from the power of great men to whom she is rarely known and seldom welcome. She has no need of force to procure entrance into the minds of men.
Thomas Jefferson
He who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it the second time.
Thomas Jefferson
Every State has a natural right in cases not within the compact (casus non faederis) to nullify of their own authority all assumptions of power by others within their limits. Without this right, they would be under the dominion, absolute and unlimited, of whosoever might exercise this right of judgment for them.
Thomas Jefferson
If ignorance is bliss, why aren't more people happy?
Thomas Jefferson
Of distinction by birth or badge, [Americans] had no more idea than they had of the mode of existence in the moon or planets. They had heard only that there were such, and knew that they must be wrong.
Thomas Jefferson
But of all the views of this law [universal education] none is more important, none more legitimate, than that of rendering the people the safe, as they are the ultimate, guardians of their own liberty.
Thomas Jefferson
I hope the necessity will at length be seen of establishing institutions, here as in Europe, where every branch of science, useful at this day, may be taught in it's highest degrees.
Thomas Jefferson
Truth between candid minds can never do harm.
Thomas Jefferson
With respect to our State and federal governments, I do not think their relations correctly understood by foreigners. They generally suppose the former subordinate to the latter. But this is not the case. They are co-ordinate departments of one simple and integral whole.
Thomas Jefferson
The doctrines of Jesus are simple, and tend to all the happiness of man.
Thomas Jefferson
Easter was when they nailed Him to the cross. And He never said a mumbling word.
Thomas Jefferson
I find that he is happiest of whom the world says least, good or bad.
Thomas Jefferson
No person shall be capable of being a delegate for more than three years in any term of six.
Thomas Jefferson
We sometimes from dreams pick up some hint worth improving by reflection.
Thomas Jefferson
We never repent of having eaten too little.
Thomas Jefferson
I prefer the tumult of liberty to the quiet of servitude
Thomas Jefferson
Our attachment to no nation on earth should supplant our attachment to liberty.
Thomas Jefferson
Though written constitutions may be violated in moments of passion or delusion, yet they furnish a text to which those who are watchful may again rally and recall the people they fix too for the people the principles of their political creed.
Thomas Jefferson
