I prefer to be remembered for...

I prefer to be remembered for what I have done for others, not what others have done for me.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

I have lived temperately....I...

I have lived temperately....I double the doctor's recommendation of a glass and a half wine each day and even treble it with a friend.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

"It astonishes me to find... ...

"It astonishes me to find... [that so many] of our countrymen... should be contented to live under a system which leaves to their governors the power of taking from them the trial by jury in civil cases, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, freedom of commerce, the habeas corpus laws, and of yoking them with a standing army. This is a degeneracy in the principles of liberty... which I [would not have expected for at least] four centuries."

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

I am for a government rigorou...

I am for a government rigorously frugal & simple, applying all the possible savings of the public revenue to the discharge of the national debt; and not for a multiplication of officers & salaries merely to make partisans, & for increasing, by every device, the public debt, on the principle of its being a public blessing.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

I view great cities as pestil...

I view great cities as pestilential to the morals, the health and the liberties of man. True, they nourish some of the elegant arts; but the useful ones can thrive elsewhere; and less perfection in the others, with more health, virtue and freedom, would be my choice.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

If once the people become ina...

If once the people become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, Judges and Governors, shall all become wolves. It seems to be the law of our general nature, in spite of individual exceptions.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

When wrongs are pressed becau...

When wrongs are pressed because it is believed they will be borne, resistance becomes morality.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

There is nothing more unequal...

There is nothing more unequal than the equal treatment of unequal people.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

If there be any among us who ...

If there be any among us who wish to dissolve the Union or to change its republican form, let them stand undisturbed, as monuments of the safety with which error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The ground of liberty is to b...

The ground of liberty is to be gained by inches, and we must be contented to secure what we can get from time to time and eternally press forward for what is yet to get. It takes time to persuade men to do even what is for their own good.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

No government can be maintain...

No government can be maintained without the principle of fear as well as duty. Good men will obey the last, but bad ones the former only. If our government ever fails, it will be from this weakness.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Is it less dishonest to do wh...

Is it less dishonest to do what is wrong because it is not expressly prohibited by written law? Let us hope our moral principles are not yet in that stage of degeneracy.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Whenever you are to do a thin...

Whenever you are to do a thing, though it can never be known but to yourself, ask yourself how you would act were all the world looking at you, and act accordingly.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

For here we are not afraid to follow truth wherever it may lead.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Christianity neither is, nor ...

Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

To take from one because it i...

To take from one because it is thought that his own industry and that of his father's has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association-the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

New York, like London, seems to be a cloacina [toilet] of all the depravities of human nature.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

An honest heart being the first blessing, a knowing head is the second.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Believing with you that relig...

Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between church and State.

It is every Americans' right and obligation to read and interpret the Constitution for himself.
