I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Does the government fear us? ...

Does the government fear us? Or do we fear the government? When the people fear the government, tyranny has found victory. The federal government is our servant, not our master!

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Our liberty depends on the fr...

Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Unless the mass retains suffi...

Unless the mass retains sufficient control over those entrusted with the powers of their government, these will be perverted to their own oppression, and to the perpetuation of wealth and power in the individuals and their families selected for the trust.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Who will govern the governors...

Who will govern the governors? There is only one force in the nation that can be depended upon to keep the government pure and the governors honest, and that is the people themselves. They alone, if well informed, are capable of preventing the corruption of power, and of restoring the nation to its rightful course if it should go astray. They alone are the safest depository of the ultimate powers of government.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

It is the old practice of despots to use a part of the people to keep the rest in order.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Religious institutions that u...

Religious institutions that use government power in support of themselves and force their views on persons of other faiths, or of no faith, undermine all our civil rights. Moreover, state support of an established religion tends to make the clergy unresponsive to their own people, and leads to corruption within religion itself. Erecting the 'wall of separation between church and state,' therefore, is absolutely essential in a free society.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

He who permits himself to tel...

He who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and third time, till at length it becomes habitual; he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world's believing him. This falsehood of the tongue leads to that of the heart, and in time depraves all its good dispositions.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

I think myself that we have m...

I think myself that we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious. Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have ... The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases. The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

When you abandon freedom to achieve security, you lose both and deserve neither.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

When the representative body ...

When the representative body have lost the confidence of their constituents, when they have notoriously made sale of their most valuable rights, when they have assumed to themselves powers which the people never put into their hands, then indeed their continuing in office becomes dangerous to the state

Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

Difference of opinion leads to inquiry, and inquiry to the truth.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The reason that Christianity ...

The reason that Christianity is the best friend of government is because Christianity is the only religion that changes the heart.

The government you elect is the government you deserve.

Rebellion to tyranny is obedience to God.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Taste cannot be controlled by law. We must resist at all costs any attempt to regulate our individual freedoms and to legislate our personal moralities.

The press is impotent when it abandons itself to falsehood.
