Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson
Ignorance is a poor tool in a battle of wits.
Thomas Jefferson
I consider trial by jury as the only anchor ever yet imagined by man, by which a government can be held to the principles of its constitution.
Thomas Jefferson
The art of life is the art of avoiding pain and he is the best pilot, who steers clearest of the rocks and shoals with which it is beset.
Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson
