The issue today is the same as it has been throughout all history, whether man shall be allowed to govern himself or be ruled by a small elite.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Among the most inestimable of ...

Among the most inestimable of our blessings is that ... of liberty to worship our Creator in the way we think most agreeable to His will; a liberty deemed in other countries incompatible with good government and yet proved by our experience to be its best support.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The rights [to religious freed...

The rights [to religious freedom] are of the natural rights of mankind, and ... if any act shall be ... passed to repeal [an act granting those rights] or to narrow its operation, such act will be an infringement of natural right.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Subject opinion to coercion: w...

Subject opinion to coercion: whom will you make your inquisitors? Fallible men; men governed by bad passions, by private as well as public reasons. And why subject it to coercion? To produce uniformity. But is uniformity of opinion desirable? No more than of face and stature.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The plough is to the farmer what the wand is to the sorcerer. Its effect is really like sorcery.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The will of the people is the ...

The will of the people is the only legitimate foundation of any government, and to protect its free expression should be our first object.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

I never told my own religion n...

I never told my own religion nor scrutinized that of another. I never attempted to make a convert, nor wished to change another's creed. I am satisfied that yours must be an excellent religion to have produced a life of such exemplary virtue and correctness. For it is in our lives, and not from our words, that our religion must be judged.

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

Every human being must be view...

Every human being must be viewed according to what it is good for. For not one of us, no, not one, is perfect. And were we to love none who had imperfection, this world would be a desert for our love.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Man once surrendering his reas...

Man once surrendering his reason, has no remaining guard against absurdities the most monstrous, and like a ship without rudder, is the sport of every wind. With such persons, gullibility, which they call faith, takes the helm from the hand of reason, and the mind becomes a wreck.

Certain teachings in the Bible are as diamonds in a dung-heap.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Having seen the people of all ...

Having seen the people of all other nations bowed down to the earth under the wars and prodigalities of their rulers, I have cherished their opposites, peace, economy, and riddance of public debt, believing that these were the high road to public as well as private prosperity and happiness.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

My views and feelings (are) in...

My views and feelings (are) in favor of the abolition of war-and I hope it is practicable, by improving the mind and morals of society, to lessen the disposition to war; but of its abolition I despair.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Establish the eternal truth that acquiescence under insult is not the way to escape war.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

We must meet our duty and convince the world that we are just friends and brave enemies.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

I like to see the people awake and alert.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Even in Europe a change has se...

Even in Europe a change has sensibly taken place in the mind of man. Science has liberated the ideas of those who read and reflect, and the American example has kindled feelings of right in the people. An insurrection has consequently begun of science talents and courage against rank and birth, which have fallen into contempt. It has failed in its first effort, because the mobs of the cities, the instrument used for its accomplishment, debased by ignorance, poverty and vice, could not be restrained to rational action.

Traveling makes men wiser, but less happy.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

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