“The policy of the American government is to leave its citizens free, neither restraining them nor aiding them in their pursuits.”

Thomas Jefferson

“Leave all the afternoon for exercise and recreation, which are as necessary as reading. I will rather say more necessary because health is worth more than learning.”

Thomas Jefferson

“A nation which expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, expects that which never was and never will be.”

Thomas Jefferson

“Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.”

Thomas Jefferson

“It is while we are young that the habit of industry is formed. If not then, it never is afterward.”

Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson

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

Thomas Jefferson

“When the subject is strong, simplicity is the only way to treat it.” 

Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson

“I am certainly not an advocate for frequent and untried changes in laws and constitutions...but I know also that laws and constitutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind.....”

“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

“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.”
