Thomas Jefferson
There is not a sprig of grass that shoots uninteresting to me.
Thomas Jefferson
His system of morality was the most benevolent and sublime probably that has been ever taught, and consequently more perfect than those of any of the ancient philosophers... He was the most innocent, the most benevolent, the most eloquent and sublime character that ever has been exhibited to man.

Thomas Jefferson
The clergy believe that any power confided in me will be exerted in opposition to their schemes, and they believe rightly.
Thomas Jefferson
I am an Epicurean. I consider the genuine (not the imputed) doctrines of Epicurus as containing everything rational in moral philosophy which Greece and Rome have left us.
Thomas Jefferson
Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
Thomas Jefferson
I rejoice when I hear of young men of virtue and talents, worthy to receive and likely to preserve the splendid inheritance of self- government, which we have acquired and shaped for them.
Thomas Jefferson
The Central Bank is an institution of the most deadly hostility existing against the principles and form of our Constitution.
Thomas Jefferson
Hemp is one of the greatest, most important substances of our nation
Thomas Jefferson
The Governor would serve a five-year term and be ineligible for reelection.
Thomas Jefferson
The most uninformed mind with a healthy body is happier than the wisest valetudinarian.
Thomas Jefferson
What we learn to do, we learn by doing.
Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson
