“I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend.” 

Thomas Jefferson

“Nothing was or is farther from my intentions, than to enlist myself as the champion of a fixed opinion, where I have only expressed doubt.”

Thomas Jefferson

“Every generation needs a new revolution.”

Thomas Jefferson

“We are not to expect to be translated from despotism to liberty in a featherbed.”

Thomas Jefferson

“I write nothing for publication, and last of all things should it be on the subject of religion. On the dogmas of religion as distinguished from moral principles, all mankind, from the beginning of the world to this day, have been quarrelling, fighting, burning and torturing one another, for abstractions unintelligible to themselves and to all others, and absolutely beyond the comprehension of the human mind. Were I to enter on that arena, I should only add an unit to the number of Bedlamites.

Thomas Jefferson

“not to find out new principles, or new arguments, never before thought of . . . but to place before mankind the common sense of the subject, in terms so plain and firm as to command their assent, and to justify ourselves in the independent stand we are compelled to take.”

Thomas Jefferson

“As you say of yourself, I too am an Epicurean. I consider the genuine (not the imputed) doctrines of Epicurus as containing everything rational in moral philosophy which Greece and Rome have left us.

Thomas Jefferson

“But every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle.”

Thomas Jefferson

“I cannot live without books . . .”

Thomas Jefferson

“Reason and free inquiry are the only effectual agents against error.”

Thomas Jefferson

“I have lived temperately, eating little animal food, and that not as an aliment, so much as a condiment for the vegetables, which constitute my principal diet.”

Thomas Jefferson

“The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family” 

Thomas Jefferson

“History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance of which their civil as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purposes.”

Thomas Jefferson

“Never spend your money before you have it.”

Thomas Jefferson

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

Thomas Jefferson
