Every man has a commission to admonish, exhort, convince another of error.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
There are two amendments only which I am anxious for: 1. A bill of rights, which it is so much the interest of all to have that I conceive it must be yielded...2. The restoring of the principle of necessary rotation, particularly to the Senate and Presidency, but most of all to the last.

Conquest is not in our principles. It is inconsistent with our government.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
If I had to choose between government and a free press, I would choose a free press.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
It is not to the moderation and justice of others we are to trust for fair and equal access to market with out productions, or for our due share in the transportation of them but to our own means of independence, and the firm will to use them.
