“The inquisition of public opinion overwhelms in practice the freedom asserted by the laws in theory.”

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

“Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of people that these liberties are the gift of God?” 

Thomas Jefferson

“I have the consolation of having added nothing to my private fortune during my public service, and of retiring with hands clean as they are empty.”

“Pride costs us more than hunger, thirst, and cold.”

Thomas Jefferson

“In questions of power, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the constitution.”

Thomas Jefferson

“I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country.”

Thomas Jefferson

“New York, like London, seems to be a cloacina [toilet] of all the depravities of human nature.”

Thomas Jefferson

“If all be true that I do think, there are five reasons we should drink. Good friends, good times, or being dry, or lest we should be by and by, or any other reason why”

Thomas Jefferson

“Wonderful is the effect of impudent and persevering lying.”

Thomas Jefferson

“Happiness is not being pained in body or troubled in mind.”

Thomas Jefferson

“A morsel of genuine history is a thing so rare as to be always valuable.”

Thomas Jefferson

“I cannot live without books: but fewer will suffice where amusement, and not use, is the only future object.”
