It is better to have no ideas than false ones.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
The policy of the American government is to leave their citizens free, neither restraining nor aiding them in their pursuits.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
I am not among those who fear the people. They, and not the rich, are our dependence for continued freedom.
Thomas Jefferson
Image

Force cannot give right.

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
Image
He who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and third time, till at length it becomes habitual he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world's believing him. This falsehood of the tongue leads to that of the heart, and in time depraves all its good dispositions.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
Still less let it be proposed that our properties within our own territories shall be taxed or regulated by any power on earth but our own.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
I think all the world would gain by setting commerce at perfect liberty.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
Walking is the best possible exercise. Habituate yourself to walk very far. The Europeans value themselves on having subdued the horse to the uses of man but I doubt whether we have not lost more than we have gained, by the use of this animal.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of the day but a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period, and pursued unalterably through every change of ministers (adminstrators) too plainly proves a deliberate, systematic plan of reducing us to slavery.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
I will not believe our labors are lost. I shall not die without a hope that light and liberty are on a steady advance.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
The way to silence religious disputes is to take no notice of them.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
Men are disposed to live honestly, if the means of doing so are open to them.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
The variety of opinions leads to questions. Questions lead to truth.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
It may be regarded as certain that not a foot of land will ever be taken from the Indians without their own consent.
Thomas Jefferson

To learn, you have to listen. To improve, you have to try.
