“If the present Congress errs in too much talking, how can it be otherwise in a body to which the people send 150 lawyers, whose trade it is to question everything, yield nothing, & talk by the hour? That 150 lawyers should do business together ought not to be expected.”

Thomas Jefferson

“History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance of which their civil as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purposes.”

Thomas Jefferson

“In questions of power, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the constitution.”

Thomas Jefferson

“Happiness is not being pained in body or troubled in mind.”

Thomas Jefferson

“… the man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

Thomas Jefferson

“Everything is useful which contributes to fix in the principles and practices of virtue.”

Thomas Jefferson

“Never spend your money before you have earned it.”

Thomas Jefferson

“A machine for making revolutions is doing precisely the wrong thing at just the right time.”

Thomas Jefferson

“No body wishes more than I do to see such proofs as you exhibit, that nature has given to our black brethren, talents equal to those of the other colors of men, and that the appearance of a want of them is owing merely to the degraded condition of their existence, both in Africa & America.”

Thomas Jefferson

“We seem not to perceive that, by the law of nature, one generation is to another as one independent nation is to another.”

Thomas Jefferson

“If Americans desire to be both ignorant and free, they want what never has been and what never will be.”

Thomas Jefferson

“There is not a sprig of grass that shoots uninteresting to me.”

Thomas Jefferson

“Any Government strong enough to give you what you want, is a Government strong enough to take everything you have!” 

Thomas Jefferson

“The attempt of Lavoisier to reform chemical nomenclature is premature. One single experiment may destroy the whole filiation of his terms; and his string of sulphates, sulphites, and sulphures, may have served no end than to have retarded the progress of science by a jargon, from the confusion of which time will be requisite to extricate us.” 

Thomas Jefferson

“Truth is great and will prevail if left to herself.”

Thomas Jefferson
