Thomas Jefferson
My opinion is that there would never have been an infidel, if there had never been a priest. The artificial structures they have built on the purest of all moral systems, for the purpose of deriving from it pence and power, revolts those who think for themselves, and who read in that system only what is really there.
Thomas Jefferson
The opinions of men are not the object of civil government, nor under its jurisdiction.
Thomas Jefferson
Nature intended me for the tranquil pursuits of science by rendering them my supreme delight.
