It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

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.

We often repent of what we have said, but never, never, of that which we have not.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Be a listener only, keep within yourself, and endeavor to establish with yourself the habit of silence, especially in politics.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The people are the ultimate guardians of their own liberties. In every government on earth is some trace of human weakness, some germ of corruption and degeneracy . . . Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone.

I have never been able to conceive how any rational being could propose happiness to himself from the exercise of power over others.

I do not find in orthodox Christianity one redeeming feature.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

On the dogmas of religion, as ...

On the dogmas of religion, as distinguished from moral principles, all mankind, from the beginning of the world to this day, have been quarrelling, fighting, burning and torturing one another, for abstractions unintelligible to themselves and to all others, and absolutely beyond the comprehension of the human mind.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

A nation, as a society, forms a moral person, and every member of it is personally responsible for his society.

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

If the body be feeble, the mind will not be strong.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

All eyes are opened, or openin...

All eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man. The general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view. The palpable truth, that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately, by the grace of god. These are grounds of hope for others. For ourselves, let the annual return of this day forever refresh our recollections of these rights, and an undiminished devotion to them.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

I set out on this ground which...

I set out on this ground which I suppose to be self-evident, that the earth belongs in usufruct to the living. . . . We seem not to perceive that, by the law of nature, one generation is to another as one independent nation is to another. . . . The earth belongs always to the living generations.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

To make us one nation as to fo...

To make us one nation as to foreign concerns, and keep us distinct in Domestic ones gives the outline of the proper division of powers between the general [national] and particular [state] governments.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

No generation has a right to contract debts greater than can be paid off during the course of its own existence.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The policy of the American government is to leave their citizens free, neither restraining nor aiding them in their pursuits.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

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

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Were we directed from Washington when to sow and when to reap, we should soon want bread.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Liberty is the great parent of science and of virtue; and a nation will be great in both in proportion as it is free.
