“This institution will be based on the illimitable freedom of the human mind. For here we are not afraid to follow truth wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate any error so long as reason is left free to combat it.”

Thomas Jefferson

“Whatever enables us to go to war, secures our peace”

Thomas Jefferson

“Was the government to prescribe us our medicine and diet, our bodies would be in such keeping as our souls are now."

Thomas Jefferson

“Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital.”

Thomas Jefferson

“The earth belongs always to the living generations.”

Thomas Jefferson

“our civil rights have no dependance on our religious opinions, any more than our opinions in physics or geometry; that therefore the proscribing any citizen as unworthy the public confidence by laying upon him an incapacity of being called to offices of trust and emolument, unless he profess or renounce this or that religious opinion, is depriving him injuriously of those privileges and advantages to which, in common with his fellow citizens, he has a natural right; that it tends also to corrupt the principles of that very religion it is meant to encourage,”

Thomas Jefferson

“Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.”

Thomas Jefferson

“Our properties within our own territories [should not] be taxed or regulated by any power on earth but our own.”

Thomas Jefferson

“Resolved ... that it would be a dangerous delusion were a confidence in the men of our choice to silence our fears for the safety of our rights: that confidence is everywhere the parent of despotism — free government is founded in jealousy, and not in confidence;”

Thomas Jefferson

“All are dead, and ourselves left alone amidst a new generation whom we know not, and who know us not.”

Thomas Jefferson

“The pretense that the workings of the mind, like the actions of the body, are subject to the control of laws, does not seem sufficiently demolished. ... The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others.”

Thomas Jefferson

“It is neither wealth nor splendor; but tranquility and occupation which give you happiness.”

Thomas Jefferson

“The policy of the American government is to leave its citizens free, neither restraining them nor aiding them in their pursuits.”

Thomas Jefferson

“He who knows nothing is closer to the truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

Thomas Jefferson

“Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and opressions of the body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day.”
