The unsuccessful strugglers against tyranny have been the chief martyrs of treason laws in all countries.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

If a due participation of office is a matter of right, how are vacancies to be obtained? Those by death are few; by resignation, none.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Say nothing of my religion. It...

Say nothing of my religion. It is known to God and myself alone. Its evidence before the world is to be sought in my life: if it has been honest and dutiful to society the religion which has regulated it cannot be a bad one.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The bulk of mankind are school...

The bulk of mankind are schoolboys through life.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Material abundance without character is the surest way to destruction.

The fortune of our lives depends on employing well the short period of our youth.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Health, learning and virtue will ensure your happiness; they will give you a quiet conscience, private esteem and public honour.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

We believe no more in Bonapart...

We believe no more in Bonaparte's fighting merely for the liberties of the seas than in Great Britain's fighting for the liberties of mankind. The object is the same, to draw to themselves the power, the wealth and the resources of other nations.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

not to find out new principles...

not to find out new principles, or new arguments, never before thought of . . . but to place before mankind the common sense of the subject, in terms so plain and firm as to command their assent, and to justify ourselves in the independent stand we are compelled to take.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

I have the consolation of havi...

I have the consolation of having added nothing to my private fortune during my public service, and of retiring with hands clean as they are empty.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Ridicule is the only weapon wh...

Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. Ideas must be distinct before reason can act upon them; and no man ever had a distinct idea of the trinity. It is the mere Abracadabra of the mountebanks calling themselves the priests of Jesus.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Governments constantly choose ...

Governments constantly choose between telling lies and fighting wars, with the end result always being the same. One will always lead to the other.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Rebellion to tyranny is obedie...

Rebellion to tyranny is obedience to God.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Religions are all alike- founded upon fables and mythologies.

The opinions and beliefs of men follow involuntarily the evidence proposed to their minds.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

No government can continue goo...

No government can continue good but under the control of the people; and . . . . their minds are to be informed by education what is right and what wrong; to be encouraged in habits of virtue and to be deterred from those of vice . . . . These are the inculcations necessary to render the people a sure basis for the structure and order of government.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

The order of nature [is] that ...

The order of nature [is] that individual happiness shall be inseparable from the practice of virtue.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

Without virtue, happiness cannot be.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

I have ever deemed it fundamental for the United States never to take active part in the quarrels of Europe. Their political interests are entirely distinct from ours. Their mutual jealousies, their balance of power, their complicated alliances, their forms and principles of government, are all foreign to us. They are nations of eternal war.

Thomas Jefferson 2120 quotes

I believe the states can best ...

I believe the states can best govern our home concerns and the federal government our foreign ones.
