Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson
He who lights his [candle] at mine receives light without darkening me.
Thomas Jefferson
If our country, when pressed with wrongs at the point of the bayonet, had been governed by its heads instead of its hearts, where should we have been now? Hanging on a gallows as high as Haman's.
Thomas Jefferson
A properly functioning democracy depends on an informed electorate.
Thomas Jefferson
It is part of the American character to consider nothing as desperate.

Thomas Jefferson
The oppressed should rebel, and they will continue to rebel and raise disturbance until their civil rights are fully restored to them and all partial distinctions, exlusions, and incapacitations are removed.
