Some interesting quotes from Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States:
— "The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive."
— "I hold it, that a little rebellion, now and then, is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical."
— "In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock."
— "Question with boldness even the existence of a God; if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear."
— "The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time."
— "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be."
— No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms."
— "I sincerely believe...that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies."
— "I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend."
— "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 tyrants will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual."
— "A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference."
— "Politics is such a torment that I advise everyone I love not to mix with it."
— "All, too, will bear in mind this through sacred principle, that though the will of the majority, is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression."
— "I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country."
— "I Believe every human mind feels pleasure in doing good to another."
— "We hold these truths to be self evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
