“[n regard to Jesus believing himself inspired] This belief carried no more personal imputation than the belief of Socrates that he was under the care and admonition of a guardian demon. And how many of our wisest men still believe in the reality of these inspirations while perfectly sane on all other subjects (Works, Vol. iv, p. 327).”

Thomas Jefferson

“History, by apprising [the people] of the past, will enable them to judge of the future.” 

Thomas Jefferson

“Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just.”

Thomas Jefferson

“I have sworn upon the altar of god, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.”

Thomas Jefferson

“Where the press is free and every man able to read, all is safe.”

Thomas Jefferson

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

Thomas Jefferson

“Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government”

Thomas Jefferson

“[A] lawyer without books would be like a workman without tools.”

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

“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

“… the man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

Thomas Jefferson

“Politics, like religion, hold up the torches of martyrdom to the reformers of error.”

Thomas Jefferson

“To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.”

Thomas Jefferson

“We in America do not have government by the majority. We have government by the majority who participate.”

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
