Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The Constitution on which our...

The Constitution on which our Union rests, shall be administered by me [as President] according to the safe and honest meaning contemplated by the plain understanding of the people of the United States at the time of its adoption - a meaning to be found in the explanations of those who advocated, not those who opposed it, and who opposed it merely lest the construction should be applied which they denounced as possible.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

This doctrine ['that the cond...

This doctrine ['that the condition of man cannot be ameliorated, that what has been must ever be, and that to secure ourselves where we are we must tread with awful reverence in the footsteps of our fathers']is the genuine fruit of the alliance between Church and State, the tenants of which finding themselves but too well in their present condition, oppose all advances which might unmask their usurpations and monopolies of honors, wealth and power, and fear every change as endangering the comforts they now hold.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

My great wish is to go on in a strict but silent performance of my duty; to avoid attracting notice, and to keep my name out of the newspapers.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

But, you may ask, if the two ...

But, you may ask, if the two departments [i.e., federal and state] should claim each the same subject of power, where is the common umpire to decide ultimately between them? In cases of little importance or urgency, the prudence of both parties will keep them aloof from the questionable ground; but if it can neither be avoided nor compromised, a convention of the States must be called to ascribe the doubtful power to that department which they may think best.

Our liberty depends on freedom of the press.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

When two parties make a compa...

When two parties make a compact, there results to each a power of compelling the other to execute it.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

That the several states who f...

That the several states who formed that instrument, being sovereign and independent, have the unquestionable right to judge of its infraction; and that a nullification, by those sovereignties, of all unauthorized acts done under colour of that instrument, is the rightful remedy.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The mobs of great cities add ...

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.

I, place economy among the first & most important republican virtues, & public debt as the greatest of the dangers to be feared

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

[We should be] determined... to sever ourselves from the union we so much value rather than give up the rights of self-government... in which alone we see liberty, safety and happiness.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Believing that the happiness ...

Believing that the happiness of mankind is best promoted by the useful pursuits of peace, that on these alone a stable prosperity can be founded, that the evils of war are great in their endurance, and have a long reckoning for ages to come, I have used my best endeavors to keep our country uncommitted in the troubles which afflict Europe, and which assail us on every side.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The general (federal) governm...

The general (federal) government will tend to monarchy, which will fortify itself from day to day, instead of working its own cures.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The persons and property of o...

The persons and property of our citizens are entitled to the protection of our government in all places where they may lawfully go.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The inhabitants of the ceded ...

The inhabitants of the ceded territory shall be incorporated in the Union of the United States, and admitted as soon as possible, according to the principles of the Federal constitution, to the enjoyment of all the rights, advantages, and immunities, of citizens of the United States; and, in the mean time, they shall be maintained and protected in the free enjoyment of their liberty, property, and the religion which they profess.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

From forty years' experience ...

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 2120 quotes

If by religion we are to unde...

If by religion we are to understand sectarian dogmas, in which no two of them agree, then your exclamation on that hypothesis is just, "that this would be the best of worlds if there were no religion in it.
