“It is an axiom in my mind, that our liberty can never be safe but in the hands of the people themselves, and that too of the people with a certain degree of instruction. This it is the business of the State to effect, and on a general plan.”

Thomas Jefferson

“The boisterous sea of liberty is never without a wave. ”

Thomas Jefferson

“Every day is lost in which we do not learn something useful. Man has no nobler or more valuable possession than time.”

Thomas Jefferson

“Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time, who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done, if we are always doing.”

Thomas Jefferson

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

Thomas Jefferson

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

Thomas Jefferson

“I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty, than those attending too small a degree of it.”

Thomas Jefferson

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

Thomas Jefferson

“On every question of construction (of the Constitution) let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit of the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed.”

Thomas Jefferson

“The opinions and beliefs of men follow involuntarily the evidence proposed to their minds.”

Thomas Jefferson

“Everything yields to diligence”

Thomas Jefferson

“Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions.”

Thomas Jefferson

“That one generation of men in civil society have no right to make acts to bind another, is a truth that cannot be confused.”

Thomas Jefferson

“The earth belongs always to the living generations.”

Thomas Jefferson

“Bigotry is the disease of ignorance, of morbid minds; enthusiasm of the free and buoyant. Education and free discussion are the antidotes of both. We are destined to be a barrier against the returns of ignorance and barbarism. Old Europe will have to lean on our shoulders, and to hobble along by our side, under the monkish trammels of priests and kings, as she can. What a Colossus shall we be when the Southern continent comes up to our mark! What a stand will it secure as a ralliance for the reason & freedom of the globe! I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past. So good night. I will dream on, always fancying that Mrs Adams and yourself are by my side marking the progress and the obliquities of ages and countries.”

Thomas Jefferson
