Our attachment to no nation on earth should supplant our attachment to liberty.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

I sincerely wish you may find it convenient to come here. the pleasure of the trip will be less than you expect, but the utility greater. it will make you adore your own country, it's soil, it's climate, it's equality, liberty, laws, people & manners. my god! how little do my countrymen know...

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The liberty of the whole earth...

The liberty of the whole earth was depending on the issue of the contest, and was ever such a prize won with so little innocent blood?

Being myself a warm zealot for the attainment & enjoiment by all mankind of as much liberty as each may exercise without injury to the equal liberty of his fellow citizens, I have lamented that in France the endeavors to obtain this should have been attended with the effusion of so much blood.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

This ball of liberty, I believ...

This ball of liberty, I believe most piously, is now so well in motion that it will roll round the globe. at least the enlightened part of it, for light & liberty go together.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

We owe gratitude to France, ju...

We owe gratitude to France, justice to England, good will to all, and subservience to none ... it was by the sober sense of our citizens that we were safely and steadily conducted from monarchy to republicanism, and it is by the same agency alone we can be kept from falling back.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The last hope of human liberty...

The last hope of human liberty in this world rests on us. we ought, for so dear a stake, to sacrifice every attachment & every enmity.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

It's only merit was in being the first publication which carried the claim of our rights their whole length, and asserted that there was no rightful link of connection between us and England but that of being under the same king.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The cement of this union is in the heart blood of every American. I do not believe there is on earth a government established on so immovable a basis.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Such is the moral construction...

Such is the moral construction of the world that no national crime passes unpunished in the long run... Were present oppressors to reflect on the same truth, they would spare to their own countries the penalties on their present wrongs which will be inflicted on them in future times. The seeds of hatred and revenge which they sow with a large hand will not fail to produce their fruits in time. Like their brother robbers on the highway, they suppose the escape of the moment a final escape and deem infamy and future risk

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The doctrines of Jesus are sim...

The doctrines of Jesus are simple, and tend to all the happiness of man.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Of all the systems of morality...

Of all the systems of morality, ancient or modern which have come under my observation, none appears to me so pure as that of Jesus....I am a real Christian, that is to say, a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Some men look at constitutions...

Some men look at constitutions with sanctimonious reverence, and deem them like the ark of the Covenant, too sacred to be touched. They ascribe to the men of the preceding age a wisdom more than human, and suppose what they did to be beyond amendment.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Erecting the 'wall of separati...

Erecting the 'wall of separation between church and state'... is absolutely essential in a free society.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

To compel a man to furnish con...

To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical...A wise and frugal government...shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned...Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare but only those specifically enumerated...Would it not be better to simplify the system of taxation rather than to spread it over such a variety of subjects and pass through so many new hands?

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

An informed citizenry is the only true repository of the public will.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The mobs of great cities add just so much to the support of pure government as sores do to the strength of the human body.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

He, who steadily observes those moral precepts in which all religions concur, will never be questioned at the gates of heaven as to the dogmas in which they all differ.

Honesty is the first chapter in the Book of wisdom. Let it be our endeavor to merit the character of a just nation.
