“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

“Follow truth wherever it may lead you.”

Thomas Jefferson

“But every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle.”

Thomas Jefferson

“Freedom, the first-born of science.”

Thomas Jefferson

“I am convinced our own happiness requires that we should continue to mix with the world, and to keep pace with it as it goes. "

Thomas Jefferson

“Were I to undertake to answer the calumnies of the newspapers, it would be more than all my own time, and that of 20 aids could effect. For while I should be answering one, twenty new ones would be invented. I have thought it better to trust the justice of my country-men, that they would judge me by what they see of my conduct on the stage where they have placed me.”

Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson

“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
