It is to secure our rights that we resort to government at all.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Printers shall be liable to l...

Printers shall be liable to legal prosecution for printing and publishing false facts injurious to the party prosecuting: but they shall be under no other restraint.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The best hemp and the best to...

The best hemp and the best tobacco grow on the same kind of soil. The former article is of the first necessity to the wealth and protection of the country. The latter, never useful.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The more a subject is understood, the more briefly it may be explained.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

When I contemplate the immens...

When I contemplate the immense advances in science and discoveries in the arts which have been made within the period of my life, I look forward with confidence to equal advances by the present generation, and have no doubt they will consequently be as much wiser than we have been as we than our fathers were, and they than the burners of witches.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

In reviewing the history of the times through which we have passed, no portion of it gives greater satisfaction or reflection, than that which represents the efforts of the friends of religious freedom and the success with which they are crowned.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

[T]he dignity of parliament i...

[T]he dignity of parliament it seems can brook no opposition to it's power. Strange that a set of men who have made sale of theirvirtue to the minister should yet talk of retaining dignity!

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

You have never by a word or a...

You have never by a word or a deed given me one moment's uneasiness; on the contrary I have felt perpetual gratitude to heaven forhaving given me, in you, a source of so much pure and unmixed happiness.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

A little rebellion now and then is a good thing. Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. In order to flourish, the tree of Liberty needs the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Perseverance in object, thoug...

Perseverance in object, though not by the most direct way, is often more laudable than perpetual changes, as often as the object shifts light.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The great cause which divides...

The great cause which divides our countries is not to be decided by individual animosities. The harmony of private societies cannot weaken national efforts.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

There is not a single crowned head in Europe whose talents or merit would entitle him to be elected a vestryman by the people of any parish in America.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Well, Page, I do wish the Devil had old Cooke, for I am sure I never was so tired of an old dull scoundrel in my life ... But the old-fellows say we must read to gain knowledge; and gain knowledge to make us happy and be admired. Mere jargon! Is there any such thing as happiness in this world? No.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The mass of our citizens may ...

The mass of our citizens may be divided into two classes -- the laboring and the learned. The laboring will need the first grade of education to qualify them for their pursuits and duties; the learned will need it as a foundation for further acquirements.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The people cannot be all, and...

The people cannot be all, and always well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Error indeed has often prevailed by the assistance of power or force. Truth is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

To seek out the best [persons...

To seek out the best [persons to serve in the government] though the whole Union, we must resort to the information which from the best of men, acting disinterestedly and with ther purest motives, is something incorrect....No duty the Executive had to perform was so trying as to put the right man in the right place.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Not less than two hours a day...

Not less than two hours a day should be devoted to exercise, and the weather shall be little regarded. If the body is feeble, the mind will not be strong.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The opinions and beliefs of men follow involuntarily the evidence proposed to their minds.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

On the dogmas of religion, as...

On the dogmas of religion, as distinguished from moral principles, all mankind, from the beginning of the world to this day, have been quarrelling, fighting, burning and torturing one another, for abstractions unintelligible to themselves and to all others, and absolutely beyond the comprehension of the human mind.
