Thomas Jefferson [Back to home]
Especially read the last quote from 1802.
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
Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:
'I believe that banking institutions are more
dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.
If the American people ever allow private banks
to control the issue of their currency, first by
inflation, then by deflation, the banks and
corporations that will grow up around the banks
will deprive the people of all property until their
children wake-up homeless on the continent their
fathers conquered.'
Other quotes:
'If you don't read the newspaper you are uninformed, if you
do read the newspaper you are misinformed.'
-Mark Twain
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage
payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class
hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away
people's initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them,
what they could and should do for themselves.
