Quotes by Thomas Jefferson
Quotes from Thomas Jefferson
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
In light of the present financial crisis, it's interesting to read what 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.”

Terry, great list of Thomas Jefferson quotes.
These statements are as relevant today as they were back then, there is only one problem.... why are our leaders not demonstrating these facts? Yes, I think they are facts and truths .

Ahh, but this culture is built on youth, and youth is legendary for ignoring the Wisdom of its Elders.

If the courts would let parents spank the little sheets. Allow the schools to have some kind of discipline. They would start paying attention. I know when my Dad said something. He had 120% of my attention  ....OR ELSE!

Same here. When my parents told me to do something it wasn't a request or would you please do this. Also school disclipline was more than they are allowed in most prisons now. Don't do your work and flunk the grade. Screw up and break a window and you are expelled for a few days, plus your parents have to pay for it and then you have to pay them.
