When we get piled
upon one another in large cities,
as in Europe,
we shall become as corrupt as
Europe .
Thomas Jefferson
The democracy will cease to
exist
when you take away from those
who are willing to work and
give to those who would not.
Thomas Jefferson
It is incumbent on every
generation to pay its own debts
as it goes.
A principle which if acted on
would save
one-half the wars of the world.
Thomas Jefferson
I predict future happiness for
Americans if they can prevent
the government
from wasting the labors of the
people under the
pretense of taking care of them.
Thomas Jefferson
My reading of history convinces
me
that most bad government results
from too much
government.
Thomas Jefferson
No free man shall ever be debarred
the use of arms.
Thomas Jefferson
The strongest reason for the
people to retain the right to
keep and bear arms
is, as a last resort, to protect
themselves
against tyranny in government.
Thomas Jefferson
The tree of liberty must be
refreshed from time to time
with the blood of
patriots and tyrants.
Thomas Jefferson
To compel a man to subsidize
with
his taxes the propagation of
ideas which he
disbelieves and abhors is sinful
and tyrannical.
Thomas Jefferson
