“The Constitution of most of our states (and of the United States) assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed.”

Thomas Jefferson

“I wish I was a despot that I might save the noble, the beautiful trees that are daily falling sacrifice to the cupidity of their owners, or the necessity of the poor. The unnecessary felling of a tree, perhaps the growth of centuries, seems to me a crime little short of murder.”

Thomas Jefferson

“To the corruptions of christianity I am indeed opposed; but not to the genuine precepts of Jesus himself. I am a Christian in the only sense in which he wished any one to be; sincerely attached to his doctrines, in preference to all others; ascribing to himself every human excellence, and believing he never claimed any other.”

Thomas Jefferson

“Be polite to all, but intimate with few.”

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

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

Thomas Jefferson

“You are now old enough to know how very important to your future life will be the manner in which you employ your present time”

Thomas Jefferson

“The earth belongs always to the living generations.”

Thomas Jefferson

“We confide in our strength, without boasting of it, we respect that of others, without fearing it.”

Thomas Jefferson

“The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield, and government to gain ground.”

Thomas Jefferson

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

Thomas Jefferson

“Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances.”

Thomas Jefferson

“I am savage enough to prefer the woods, the wilds, and the independence of Monticello, to all the brilliant pleasures of this gay capital [Paris].”

Thomas Jefferson

“An enemy generally says and believes what he wishes.” 

Thomas Jefferson

“[It is a] happy truth that man is capable of self-government, and only rendered otherwise by the moral degradation designedly superinduced on him by the wicked acts of his tyrant.”

Thomas Jefferson
