The relations which exist between man and his Maker, and the duties resulting from those relations, are the most interesting and important to every human being and the most incumbent on his study and investigation.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

No other depositories of powe...

No other depositories of power [but the people themselves] have ever yet been found, which did not end in converting to their own profit the earnings of those committed to their charge.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The law of self-preservation ...

The law of self-preservation is higher than written law.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

I consider the doctrines of Jesus as delivered by himself to contain the outlines of the sublimest system of morality that has ever been taught but I hold in the most profound detestation and execration the corruptions of it which have been invented.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The appointment of a woman to...

The appointment of a woman to office is an innovation for which the public is not prepared, nor I.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

I had rather ask an enlargement of power from the nation, where it is found necessary, than to assume it by a construction which would make our powers boundless.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

I have indeed two great measu...

I have indeed two great measures at heart, without which no republic can maintain itself in strength: 1. That of general education, to enable every man to judge for himself what will secure or endanger his freedom. 2. To divide every county into hundreds, of such size that all the children of each will be within reach of a central school in it.

Knowledge is power...knowled ge is safety...knowle dge is happiness.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Adore God. Reverence and cherish your parents. Love your neighbor as yourself, and your country more than yourself. Be just. Be true. Murmur not at the ways of Providence. So shall the life into which you have entered be the portal to one of eternal and ineffable bliss.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Those who bear equally the burthens of Government should equally participate of its benefits.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Still less, let it be propose...

Still less, let it be proposed that our properties within our own territories shall be taxed or regulated by any power on earth but our own. The God who gave us life gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

We are firmly convinced, and ...

We are firmly convinced, and we act on that conviction, that with nations as with individuals our interests soundly calculated will ever be found inseparable from our moral duties, and history bears witness to the fact that a just nation is trusted on its word when recourse is had to armaments and wars to bridle others.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Truth is great and will prevail if left to herself.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The most effective means of preventing tyranny is to illuminate, as far as practicable, the minds of the people at large, and more especially to give them knowledge of those facts.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

For the power given to Congre...

For the power given to Congress by the Constitution does not extend to the internal regulation of the commerce of a State (that is to say, of the commerce between citizen and citizen,) which remain exclusively with its own legislature; but to its external commerce only, that is to say, its commerce with another State, or with foreign nations, or with the Indian tribes.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

He [Washington] has often dec...

He [Washington] has often declared to me that he considered our new constitution as an experiment on the practicability of republican government, and with what dose of liberty man could be trusted for his own good; that he was determined the experiment should have a fair trial, and would lose the last drop of his blood in support of it. And these declarations he repeated to me the oftener and the more pointedly.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Our cause is just. Our union ...

Our cause is just. Our union is perfect. ... With hearts fortified ... we most solemnly, before God and the world, declare that... we will, in defiance of every hazard, with unabating firmness and perseverence, employ for the preservation of our liberties; being with one mind resolved to die freemen rather than to live slaves.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

All through your life, you'll...

All through your life, you'll be faced with making a decision between two things-choose the one that is right. If they are both right, then choose the one that will make you feel the best about it at the end of the day.
