We will be soldiers, so our sons may be farmers, so their sons may be artists

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Whensoever the General Govern...

Whensoever the General Government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

A wise and frugal Government,...

A wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

In a free society with a gove...

In a free society with a government based on reason, it is inevitable that there will be no uniform opinion about important issues. Those accustomed to suppression and control by governmental authority see this as leading only to chaos. But a government of the people requires difference of opinion in order to discover truth and to take advantage of the opportunity that only understanding brings.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The chief purpose of governme...

The chief purpose of government is to protect life. Abandon that and you have abandoned all.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

I wish it were possible to ob...

I wish it were possible to obtain a single amendment to our Constitution. I would be willing to depend on that alone for the reduction of the administration of our government; I mean an additional article taking from the Federal Government the power of borrowing.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

A strong body makes the mind ...

A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

I hold it that a little rebel...

I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The man who would choose security over freedom deserves neither.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The time to guard against cor...

The time to guard against corruption and tyranny is before they shall have gotten hold of us. It is better to keep the wolf out of the fold, than to trust to drawing his teeth and talons after he shall have entered.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

May I never get too busy in my own affairs that I fail to respond to the needs of others with kindness and compassion.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The whole art of government consists in the art of being honest.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Every people may establish what form of government they please, and change it as they please, the will of the nation being the only thing essential.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Stock dealers and banking com...

Stock dealers and banking companies, by the aid of a paper system, are enriching themselves to the ruin of our country, and swaying the government by their possession of the printing presses, which their wealth commands and by any other means, not always honorable to the character of our countrymen.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Were it left to me to decide ...

Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

One never really knows how mu...

One never really knows how much one has been touched by a place until one has left it.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

1.Never put off till to-morrow what you can do to-day. 2.Never trouble another for what you can do yourself. 3.Never spend your money before you have it. 4.Never buy what you do not want, because it is cheap; it will be dear to you. 5.Pride costs us more than hunger, thirst, and cold. 6.We never repent of having eaten too little. 7.Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly. 8.How much pain have cost us the evils which have never happened. 9.Take things always by their smooth handle. 10.When angry, count ten, before you speak; if very angry, a hundred.

The true foundation of republican government is the equal right of every citizen in his person and property and in their management.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Specie [gold and silver coin]...

Specie [gold and silver coin] is the most perfect medium because it will preserve its own level; because, having intrinsic and universal value, it can never die in our hands, and it is the surest resource of reliance in time of war.
