More quotes by Thomas Jefferson
It should be our endeavor to cultivate the peace and friendship of every nation, even of that which has injured us most.
Thomas Jefferson
the boys of the rising generation are to be the men of the next, and the sole guardians of the principles we deliver over to them.
Thomas Jefferson
The dead should not rule the living
Thomas Jefferson
If the children are untaught, their ignorance and vices will in future life cost us much dearer in their consequences than it would have done in their correction by a good education.
Thomas Jefferson
The press is impotent when it abandons itself to falsehood.
Thomas Jefferson
I... [am] convinced [man] has no natural right in opposition to his social duties.
Thomas Jefferson
The earth belongs to the living, not to the dead.
Thomas Jefferson
Never use two words when one will do.
Thomas Jefferson
Congress has scarcely any thing to employ them, and complain that the place [Washington, D.C.] is remarkably dull.
Thomas Jefferson
Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.
Thomas Jefferson
The ground of liberty is to be gained by inches, and we must be contented to secure what we can get from time to time and eternally press forward for what is yet to get. It takes time to persuade men to do even what is for their own good.
Thomas Jefferson
The best defense of democracy is an informed electorate.
Thomas Jefferson
When tempted to do any thing in secret, ask yourself if you would do it in public.
Thomas Jefferson
I extremely believe in luck, and I discovered more hard work, your luck as much
Thomas Jefferson
I agree with you that it is the duty of every good citizen to use all the opportunities, which occur to him, for preserving documents relating to the history of our country.
Thomas Jefferson
Where the principle of difference [between political parties] is as substantial and as strongly pronounced as between the republicans and the monocrats of our country, I hold it as honorable to take a firm and decided part and as immoral to pursue a middle line, as between the parties of honest men and rogues, into which every country is divided.
Thomas Jefferson
Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but only those specifically enumerated.
Thomas Jefferson
Perfection in wisdom, as well as in integrity, is neither required nor expected in these agents (public servants). It belongs not to man. The wise know too well their weaknesses to assume infallibility and he who knows most, knows best how little he knows.
Thomas Jefferson
Lay down true principles and adhere to them inflexibly. Do not be frightened into their surrender by the alarms of the timid, or the croakings of wealth against the ascendency of the people.
Thomas Jefferson
The Bible makes the best people in the world.
Thomas Jefferson
