The eyes of our citizens are ...

The eyes of our citizens are not sufficiently open to the true cause of our distress. They ascribe them to everything but their true cause, the banking system

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

We need a revolution every 20 years just to keep government honest.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Hindsight is an exact science...

Hindsight is an exact science. Hold fast to your dreams, for it dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. How much pain they have cost us, the evils which have never happened.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The physician is happy in the attachment of the families in which he practices. All think he has saved one of them, and he finds himself everywhere a welcome guest, a home in every house.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

I have nothing but contempt f...

I have nothing but contempt for anyone who can spell a word in only one way.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

To compel a man to furnish co...

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

Though [the people] may acqui...

Though [the people] may acquiesce, they cannot approve what they do not understand.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

No man will labor for himself...

No man will labor for himself who can make another labor for him.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Some men look at Constitution...

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. I knew that age well; I belonged to and labored with it. It deserved well of its country. It was very like the present, but without the experience of the present; and forty years of experience in Government is worth a century of book-reading; and this they would say themselves, were they to rise from the dead.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but only those specifically enumerated.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Experience has taught me that manufacturers are now as necessary to our independence as to our comfort.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

A right to property is founde...

A right to property is founded in our natural wants, in the means with which we are endowed to satisfy these wants, and the right to what we acquire by those means without violating the similar rights of other sensible beings.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

I shall rejoin myself to my n...

I shall rejoin myself to my native country, with new attachments, and with exaggerated esteem for its advantages; for though there is less wealth there, there is more freedom, more ease, and less misery.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

... the common law existed while the Anglo-Saxons were yet pagans, at a time when they had never yet heard the name of Christ pronounced or knew that such a character existed.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

And for the support of this d...

And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

When virtue is banished, ambi...

When virtue is banished, ambition invades the minds of those who are disposed to receive it, and avarice possesses the whole community. The objects of their desires are changed; what they were fond of before has become indifferent; they were free while under the restraint of laws, but they would fain now be free to act against law.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The banks themselves were doi...

The banks themselves were doing business on capitals three-fourths of which were fictitious. This fictitious capital... is now to be lost, and to fall on somebody; it must take on those who have property to meet it, and probably on the less cautious part, who, not aware of the impending catastrophe, have suffered themselves to contract, or to be in debt, and must now sacrifice their property of a value many times the amount of the debt. We have been truly sowing the wind, and are now reaping the whirlwind.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

I have learnt to expect that it will rarely fall to the lot of imperfect man to retire from this station with the reputation and the favor which bring him into it.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The evils which of necessity ...

The evils which of necessity encompass the life of man are sufficiently numerous. Why should we add to them by voluntarily distressing and destroying one another? Peace, brothers, is better than war. In a long and bloody war, we lose many friends, and gain nothing. Let us then live in peace and friendship together, doing to each other all the good we can.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Never was so much false arithmetic employed on any subject, as that which has been employed to persuade nations that it is in their interest to go to war.
