An association of men who will...

An association of men who will not quarrel with one another is a thing which has never yet existed, from the greatest confederacy of nations down to a town meeting or a vestry.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Friendship is but another name...

Friendship is but another name for an alliance with the follies and the misfortunes of others. Our own share of miseries is sufficient: why enter then as volunteers into those of another?

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

We may consider each generatio...

We may consider each generation as a distinct nation, with a right, by the will of its majority, to bind themselves, but none to bind the succeeding generation, more than the inhabitants of another country.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

So confident am I in the inten...

So confident am I in the intentions, as well as wisdom, of the government, that I shall always be satisfied that what is not done, either cannot, or ought not to be done.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

In truth, politeness is artifi...

In truth, politeness is artificial good humor, it covers the natural want of it, and ends by rendering habitual a substitute nearly equivalent to the real virtue.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

I am an Epicurean. I consider ...

I am an Epicurean. I consider the genuine (not the imputed) doctrines of Epicurus as containing everything rational in moral philosophy which Greek and Roman leave to us.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Peace and abstinence from European interferences are our objects, and so will continue while the present order of things in America remain uninterrupted.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The whole commerce between mas...

The whole commerce between master and slave is a perpetual exercise of the most boisterous passions, the most unremitting despotism on the one part, and degrading submissions on the other. Our children see this, and learn to imitate it.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The Creator has not thought pr...

The Creator has not thought proper to mark those in the forehead who are of stuff to make good generals. We are first, therefore, to seek them blindfold, and then let them learn the trade at the expense of great losses.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Whenever there are in any coun...

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

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Nature intended me for the tra...

Nature intended me for the tranquil pursuits of science, by rendering them my supreme delight. But the enormities of the times in which I have lived, have forced me to take a part in resisting them, and to commit myself on the boisterous ocean of political passions.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The ocean ... like the air, is...

The ocean ... like the air, is the common birth-right of mankind.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Had the doctrines of Jesus bee...

Had the doctrines of Jesus been preached always as pure as they came from his lips, the whole civilized world would now have been Christians.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

State a moral case to a plowma...

State a moral case to a plowman and a professor. The former will decide it as well, and often better than the latter, because he has not been led astray by artificial rules.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Politics, like religion, hold ...

Politics, like religion, hold up the torches of martyrdom to the reformers of error.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The genius of architecture seems to have shed its maledictions over this land.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

History teaches the young the virtues of freedom. By apprising them of the past it will enable them to judge the future.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The Christian religion is the best religion that has ever been given to man

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The clergy ... believe that an...

The clergy ... believe that any portion of power confided to me [as President] will be exerted in opposition to their schemes. And they believe rightly: for I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man. But this is all they have to fear from me: and enough, too, in their opinion.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Millions of innocent men, wome...

Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined and imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half the world fools, and the other half hypocrites. To support roguery and error all over the earth.
