“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

“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

“The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers.”

Thomas Jefferson

“The care of human life and happiness, and their destruction is the first and only legitimate object of a good government.”

Thomas Jefferson

“I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves ; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power.” 

Thomas Jefferson

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

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

“I am for freedom of religion, and against all maneuvers to bring about a legal ascendency of one sect over another.”

Thomas Jefferson

“A government which can be felt; a government of energy. God send that our country may never have a government, which it can feel.”

Thomas Jefferson

“Of all machines, the human heart is the most complicated and inexplicable.”

Thomas Jefferson

“To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.”

Thomas Jefferson

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

Thomas Jefferson

“The most fortunate of us, in our journey through life, frequently meet with calamities and misfortunes which may greatly afflict us; and, to fortify our minds against the attacks of these calamities and misfortunes, should be one of the principal studies and endeavours of our lives.”

Thomas Jefferson

“Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everyone is standing around reloading”

Thomas Jefferson

“I like a little rebellion now and then. It is like a storm in the atmosphere.”

Thomas Jefferson
