I will not believe our labors...

I will not believe our labors are lost. I shall not die without a hope that light and liberty are on a steady advance.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The instability of our laws i...

The instability of our laws is really an immense evil. I think it would be well to provide in our constitutions that there shall always be a twelve-month between the ingross-ing a bill & passing it: that it should then be offered to its passage without changing a word: and that if circum-stances should be thought to require a speedier passage, it should take two thirds of both houses instead of a bare majority.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

It is an insult to our citize...

It is an insult to our citizens to question whether they are rational beings or not, and blasphemy against religion to suppose it cannot stand the test of truth and reason.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Material abundance without ch...

Material abundance without character is the surest way to destruction.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Games played with the ball, a...

Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind.

Wine from long habit has become an indispensable for my health

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Every human being must be vie...

Every human being must be viewed according to what it is good for. For not one of us, no, not one, is perfect. And were we to love none who had imperfection, this world would be a desert for our love.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

A mind always employed is always happy.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

All eyes are opened, or openi...

All eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man. The general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view. The palpable truth, that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately, by the grace of god. These are grounds of hope for others. For ourselves, let the annual return of this day forever refresh our recollections of these rights, and an undiminished devotion to them.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

He does most in God's great world who does his best in his own little world.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Honesty is the first chapter in the Book of wisdom. Let it be our endeavor to merit the character of a just nation.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

If I had to choose between go...

If I had to choose between government without newspapers, and newspapers without government, I wouldn't hesitate to choose the latter

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Never fear the want of business. A man who qualifies himself well for his calling, never fails of employment.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

I may err in my measures, but...

I may err in my measures, but never shall deflect from the intention to fortify the public liberty by every possible means, and to put it out of the power of the few to riot on the labors of the many.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Our Constitution... has not l...

Our Constitution... has not left the religion of its citizens under the power of its public functionaries, were it possible that any of these should consider a conquest over the conscience of men either attainable or applicable to any desirable purpose.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The concentrating of powers i...

The concentrating of powers in the same hands is precisely the definition of despotic government. It will be no alleviation that these powers will be exercised by a plurality of hands, and not by a single one.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The constitutions of most of ...

The constitutions of most of our States assert, that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves, in all cases to which they think themselves competent, or they may act by representatives, freely and equally chosen; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed; that they are entitled to freedom of person, freedom of religion, freedom of property, and freedom of the press.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

A prince whose character is t...

A prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a people who mean to be free.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

We owe gratitude to France, j...

We owe gratitude to France, justice to England, good will to all, and subservience to none ... it was by the sober sense of our citizens that we were safely and steadily conducted from monarchy to republicanism, and it is by the same agency alone we can be kept from falling back.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Freedom of religion, freedom ...

Freedom of religion, freedom of the press, freedom of person under protection of habeas corpus; and trial by juries impartially selected, these principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us, and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation.
