We will be soldiers, so our sons may be farmers, so their sons may be artists
Thomas Jefferson
Government governed least is government governed best.
Thomas Jefferson
If the body be feeble, the mind will not be strong.
Thomas Jefferson
Tobacco is a culture productive of infinite wretchedness.
Thomas Jefferson
You see I am an enthusiast on the subject of the arts. But it is an enthusiasm of which I am not ashamed, as its object is to improve the taste of my countrymen, to increase their reputation, to reconcile to them the respect of the world, and procure them its praise.
Thomas Jefferson
Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.
Thomas Jefferson
Truth is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless, by human interposition, disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them.

Thomas Jefferson
The truth is that the want of common education with us is not from our poverty, but from the want of an orderly system. More money is now paid for the education of a part than would be paid for that of the whole if systematically arranged.
Thomas Jefferson
Don't spend your money till you have it.
Thomas Jefferson
I like to see the people awake and alert.
Thomas Jefferson
In a virtuous and free state, no rewards can be so pleasing to sensible minds, as those which include the approbation of our fellow citizens. My great pain is, lest my poor endeavours should fall short of the kind expectations of my country.
Thomas Jefferson
I had rather ask an enlargement of power from the nation, where it is found necessary, than to assume it by a construction which would make our powers boundless.
Thomas Jefferson
The advertisement is the most truthful part of a newspaper.
Thomas Jefferson
We figure great careers aren't made. They're experienced.
Thomas Jefferson
I am never tempted to pray but when a warm feeling for my friends comes athwart my heart.
Thomas Jefferson
An occasional insurrection will not weigh against the inconveniences of a government of force, such as are monarchies and aristocracies.
Thomas Jefferson
Agreeable society is the first essential in constituting the happiness and of course the value of our existence.
Thomas Jefferson
