Agriculture, manufactures, co...

Agriculture, manufactures, commerce, and navigation, the four pillars of our prosperity, are the most thriving when left most free to individual enterprise.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Were parties here divided mer...

Were parties here divided merely by a greediness for office,...to take a part with either would be unworthy of a reasonable or moral man.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Nothing can now be believed w...

Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The mobs of the great cities ...

The mobs of the great cities add just so much to the support of pure government as sores do to the strength of the human body. It is the manners and spirit of a people which preserve a republic in vigor. A degeneracy in these is a canker which soon eats to the heart of its laws and constitution.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Paper money is liable to be a...

Paper money is liable to be abused, has been, is, and forever will be abused, in every country in which it is permitted.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Man is not made for the State...

Man is not made for the State but the State for man and it derives its just powers only from the consent of the governed.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

All authority belongs to the ...

All authority belongs to the people... In questions of power let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief with chains of the Constitution.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

When we see ourselves in a si...

When we see ourselves in a situation which must be endured and gone through, it is best to make up our minds to it, meet it with firmness, and accommodate everything to it in the best way practicable. This lessens the evil; while fretting and fuming only serves to increase your own torments.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The same prudence which in pr...

The same prudence which in private life would forbid our paying our own money for unexplained projects, forbids it in the dispensation of the public moneys.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Without health there is no ha...

Without health there is no happiness. An attention to health, then, should take the place of every other object.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

I sincerely believe that bank...

I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Born in the same land, we oug...

Born in the same land, we ought to live as brothers, doing to each other all the good we can, and not listening to wicked men, who may endeavor to make us enemies. By living in peace, we can help and prosper one another; by waging war, we can kill and destroy many on both sides; but those who survive will not be the happier for that.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

A properly functioning democr...

A properly functioning democracy depends on an informed electorate.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The doctrines of Jesus are si...

The doctrines of Jesus are simple and tend all to the happiness of man, that there is only one God and God is perfect. That God and man are one. That to love God with all your heart, and your neighbor as yourself, is the sum of religion. These are the great points on which I endeavor to reform and live my life.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Ridicule is the only weapon w...

Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The Central Bank is an instit...

The Central Bank is an institution of the most deadly hostility existing against the principles and form of our Constitution.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

What country before ever exis...

What country before ever existed a century and a half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

In every country and in every...

In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Our tenet ever was . . . that...

Our tenet ever was . . . that Congress had not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but were restrained to those specifically enumerated; and that, as it was never meant that they should provide for that welfare but by the exercise of the enumerated powers, so it could not have been meant they should raise money for purposes which the enumeration did not place under their action.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

But when a long train of abus...

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
