If there is a gratification which I envy any people in this world it is to your country [Italy] its music. This is the favorite passion of my soul, and fortune has cast my lot in a country where it is in a state of deplorable barbarism.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The spirit of the times may a...

The spirit of the times may alter, will alter. Our rulers will become corrupt, our people careless... From the conclusion of this war we shall be going downhill. It will not then be necessary to resort every moment to the people for support. They will be forgotten, therefore, and their rights disregarded. They will forget themselves, but in the sole faculty of making money, and will never think of uniting to affect a due respect for their rights. The shackles, therefore, will be made heavier and heavier, till our rights shall revive or expire in a convulsion.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

There is not one redeeming feature in our superstition of Christianity. It has made one half the world fools, and the other half hypocrites.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Of all the cankers of human h...

Of all the cankers of human happiness none corrodes with so silent, yet so baneful an influence, as indolence.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Never [enter] into dispute or...

Never [enter] into dispute or argument with another. I never yet saw an instance of one of two disputants convincing the other by argument. I have seen many on their getting warm, becoming rude and shooting one another.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Can the liberties of a nation...

Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have remover their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

That liberty [is pure] which ...

That liberty [is pure] which is to go to all, and not to the few or the rich alone.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Whenever there are in any cou...

Whenever there are in any country uncultivated lands and unemployed poor, it is clear that the laws of property have been so far extended as to violate natural right. The earth is given as a common stock for man to labor and live on. The small landowners are the most precious part of a state

Coffee - the favorite drink of the civilized world.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

What a stupendous, what an in...

What a stupendous, what an incomprehensible machine is man! Who can endure toil, famine, stripes, imprisonment & death itself in vindication of his own liberty, and the next moment ... inflict on his fellow men a bondage, one hour of which is fraught with more misery than ages of that which he rose in rebellion to oppose.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The whole history of these bo...

The whole history of these books (i.e. the Gospels) is so defective and doubtful that it seems vain to attempt minute enquiry into it: and such tricks have been played with their text, and with the texts of other books relating to them, that we have a right, from that cause, to entertain much doubt what parts of them are genuine. In the New Testament there is internal evidence that parts of it have proceeded from an extraordinary man; and that other parts are of the fabric of very inferior minds. It is as easy to separate those parts, as to pick out diamonds from dunghills.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

I am sure that in estimating ...

I am sure that in estimating every man's value either in private or public life, a pure integrity is the quality we take first into calculation, and that learning and talents are only the second.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

If ever there was a holy war,...

If ever there was a holy war, it was that which saved our liberties and gave us independence.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The wise know too well their weakness to assume infallibility; and he who knows most knows best how little he knows.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Those who don’t read the news...

Those who don’t read the newspapers are better off than those who do insofar as those who know nothing are better off than those whose heads are filled with half-truths and lies.

It is reasonable that everyone who asks justice should do justice

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

I have no fear that the result of our experiment will be that men may be trusted to govern themselves without a master.

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 circlue of our felicities.

I believe that every human mind feels pleasure in doing good to another.

I find that he is happiest of whom the world says least, good or bad.
