I deny the power of the general government to making paper money, or anything else a legal tender.

The following [addition to the Bill of Rights] would have pleased me: The people shall not be deprived or abridged of their right to speak, to write, or otherwise to publish anything but false facts affecting injuriously the life, liberty or reputation of others, or affecting the peace of the [United States] with foreign nations.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Men possessing minds of the first order and who have had opportunities of being known and of acquiring the general confidence do not abound in any country beyond the wants of the country.

The order of nature [is] that individual happiness shall be inseparable from the practice of virtue.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

They are exactly the persons who are to succeed to the government of our country and to rule its future enmities, its friendships and fortunes.

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 2120 quotes

In a virtuous government, and more especially in times like these, public offices are what they should be - burdens to those appointed to them which it would be wrong to decline, though foreseen to bring them intense labor and great private loss.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

I should . . . prefer swallowing one incomprehensibility rather than two. It requires one effort only to admit the single incomprehensibility of matter endowed with thought, and two to believe, first that of an existence called spirit, of which we have neither evidence nor idea, and then secondly how that spirit, which has neither extension nor solidity, can put material organs into motion.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

As government grows, freedom recedes.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

To every obstacle oppose patience, perseverance and soothing language.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

There are two amendments only which I am anxious for: 1. A bill of rights, which it is so much the interest of all to have that I conceive it must be yielded...2. The restoring of the principle of necessary rotation, particularly to the Senate and Presidency, but most of all to the last.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

I have given up newspapers in exchange for Tacitus and Thucydides, for Newton and Euclid; and I find myself much the happier.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The Bible is the cornerstone ...

The Bible is the cornerstone of liberty ... students perusal of the sacred volume will make us better citizens.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

But every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

But under the beaming, constant and almost vertical sun of Virginia, shade is our Elysium. In the absence of this no beauty of the eye can be enjoyed.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

I feel a much greater interest in knowing what has passed two or three thousand years ago, than in what is now passing. I read nothing, therefore, but of the heroes of Troy, ... of Pompey and Caesar, and of Augustus too.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

For St. Paul only says that it is better to be married than to burn. Now I presume that if that apostle had known that providence would at an after day be so kind to any particular set of people as to furnish them with other means of extinguishing their fire than those of matrimony, he would have earnestly recmmended them to their practice.

Peace, that glorious moment in time when everyone stops and reloads.

Ministers and merchants love nobody.

Each generation has a right to choose for itself the form of government it believes most promotive of its happiness.
