More quotes by Thomas Jefferson
Ministers and merchants love nobody.
Thomas Jefferson
I have sometimes asked myself whether my country is the better for my having lived at all? I do not know that it is. I have been the instrument of doing the following things but they would have been done by others some of them, perhaps, a little better.
Thomas Jefferson
The government you elect is the government you deserve.
Thomas Jefferson
Every male citizen of the commonwealth, liable to taxes or to militia duty in any county, shall have a right to vote for representatives for that county to the legislature.
Thomas Jefferson
Our cause is just. Our union is perfect. ... With hearts fortified ... we most solemnly, before God and the world, declare that... we will, in defiance of every hazard, with unabating firmness and perseverence, employ for the preservation of our liberties being with one mind resolved to die freemen rather than to live slaves.
Thomas Jefferson
Be polite to all, but intimate with few.
Thomas Jefferson
Experience has already shown that the impeachment the Constitution has provided is not even a scarecrow.
Thomas Jefferson
I think it is a great error to consider a heavy tax on wines as a tax on luxury. On the contrary, it is a tax on the health of our citizens.
Thomas Jefferson
The sun has not caught me in bed in fifty years.
Thomas Jefferson
The mass of the citizens is the safest depositary of their own rights.
Thomas Jefferson
The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others.
Thomas Jefferson
He who lights his [candle] at mine receives light without darkening me.
Thomas Jefferson
The moral sense, or conscience, is as much part of a man as his leg or arm. It is given to all in a stronger or weaker degree.. It may be strengthened by exercise.
Thomas Jefferson
Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law.
Thomas Jefferson
Would the honest patriot, in the full tide of successful experiment, abandon a government which has so far kept us free and firm on the theoretic and visionary fear that this Government, the world's best hope, may by possibility want energy to preserve itself? I trust not.
Thomas Jefferson
No generation has a right to contract debts greater than can be paid off during the course of its own existence.
Thomas Jefferson
I feel... an ardent desire to see knowledge so disseminated through the mass of mankind that it may, at length, reach even the extremes of society: beggars and kings.
Thomas Jefferson
Chemistry is yet, indeed, a mere embryon. Its principles are contested experiments seem contradictory their subjects are so minute as to escape our senses and their result too fallacious to satisfy the mind. It is probably an age too soon to propose the establishment of a system.
Thomas Jefferson
The order of nature [is] that individual happiness shall be inseparable from the practice of virtue.
Thomas Jefferson
From forty years' experience of the wretched guess-work of the newspapers of what is not done in open daylight, and of their falsehood even as to that, I rarely think them worth reading, and almost never worth notice.
Thomas Jefferson
