More quotes by Thomas Jefferson
Our part is to pursue with steadiness what is right, turning neither to right nor left for the intrigues or popular delusions of the day, assured that the public approbation will in the end be with us.
Thomas Jefferson
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
My principles, and those always received by the republicans, do not admit to removing any person from office merely for a difference of political opinion. Malversations in office, and the exerting of official influence to control the freedom of election are good causes for removal.
Thomas Jefferson
The bulk of mankind are schoolboys through life.
Thomas Jefferson
Trial by jury is part of that bright constellation which has gone before us and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation.

Thomas Jefferson
Our peculiar security is in the possession of a written Constitution. Let us not make it a blank paper by construction.
Thomas Jefferson
It is an axiom in my mind that our liberty can never be safe but in the hands of the people themselves, and that too of the people with a certain degree of instruction. This it is the business of the state to effect, and on a general plan.
Thomas Jefferson
We never repent of having eaten too little.
Thomas Jefferson
For themselves they fought, for themselves they conquered, and for themselves alone they have they have right to hold.
Thomas Jefferson
Paper is poverty, it is only the ghost of money, and not money itself.
Thomas Jefferson
It can never be too often repeated, that the time for fixing every essential right on a legal basis is while our rulers are honest, and ourselves united.
Thomas Jefferson
My principle is to do whatever is right, and leave consequences to him who has the disposal of them.
Thomas Jefferson
A government held together by the bands of reason only, requires much compromise of opinion.
Thomas Jefferson
One loves to possess arms, though they hope never to have occasion for them.
Thomas Jefferson
