“Delay is preferable to error.”

Thomas Jefferson

“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. But to return again to our subject.” 

Thomas Jefferson

“Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.”

Thomas Jefferson

“In matters of principal stand like a rock.”

Thomas Jefferson

“He who knows best knows how little he knows.”

Thomas Jefferson

“I am a sect by myself, as far as I know.”

Thomas Jefferson

“If, therefore, from the settlement of the Saxons, to the introduction of Christianity among them, that system of religion could not be a part of the common law, because they were not yet Christians; and if, having their laws from that period to the close of the common law, we are able to find among them no such act of adoption; we may safely affirm (though contradicted by all the judges and writers on earth) that Christianity neither is, nor ever was, a part of the common law.

Thomas Jefferson

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

Thomas Jefferson

“A little rebellion now and then is a good thing.”

Thomas Jefferson

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

Thomas Jefferson

“The art of life is the art of avoiding pain; and he is the best pilot, who steers clearest of the rocks and shoals with which it is beset.”

Thomas Jefferson

“War is an instrument entirely inefficient toward redressing wrong; and multiplies, instead of indemnifying losses.”

Thomas Jefferson

“No people who are ignorant can be truly free.”

Thomas Jefferson

“Honesty is the first chapter of the book wisdom.”

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
