“The equal rights of man, and the happiness of every individual, are now acknowledged to be the only legitimate objects of government.”

Thomas Jefferson

“God grant that men of principle shall be our principal men.”

Thomas Jefferson

“I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.”

Thomas Jefferson

“I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.”

Thomas Jefferson

“Whiskey claims to itself alone the exclusive office of sot-making.”

Thomas Jefferson

“When angry, count ten before you speak; if very angry, an hundred.”

Thomas Jefferson

“I am conscious that an equal division of property is impracticable. But the consequences of this enormous inequality [in Europe] producing so much misery to the bulk of mankind, legislators cannot invent too many devices for subdividing property,...[One] means of silently lessening the inequality of property is to exempt all from taxation below a certain point, and to tax the higher portions of property in geometrical progression as they rise.”

Thomas Jefferson

“That ideas should freely spread from one to another over the globe, for the moral and mutual instruction of man, and improvement of his condition, seems to have been peculiarly and benevolently designed by nature, when she made them, like fire, expansible over all space, without lessening their density in any point, and like the air in which we breathe, move, and have our physical being, incapable of confinement or exclusive appropriation. Inventions then cannot, in nature, be a subject of property.”

Thomas Jefferson

“I have often thought that nothing would do more extensive good at small expense than the establishment of a small circulating library in every county, to consist of a few well-chosen books, to be lent to the people of the country under regulations as would secure their safe return in due time.”

Thomas Jefferson

“Tyranny is defined as that which is legal for the government but illegal for the citizenry.”

Thomas Jefferson

“When the people fear the government there is tyranny, when the government fears the people there is liberty.”

Thomas Jefferson

“Nobody is better than you and remember, you are better than nobody.

Thomas Jefferson

“I do not take a single newspaper, nor read one a month, and I feel myself infinitely the happier for it.” 

Thomas Jefferson

“The earth belongs always to the living generations.”

Thomas Jefferson

“There is a ripeness of time for death,  regarding others as well as ourselves, when it is reasonable we should drop off, and make room for  another growth. When we have lived our generation out, we should not wish to encroach on another.”

Thomas Jefferson
