Quotations from Thomas Jefferson
"Banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies."

"For here we are not afraid to follow truth wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate error so long as reason is free
to combat it."
"The government is best which governs least."
"Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom."
"I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it."
"I know of 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 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."
"I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past."
"Never fear the want of business. A man who qualifies himself well for his calling, never fails of employment."
"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance."
"To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors
is sinful and tyrannical."
"War is an instrument entirely inefficient toward redressing wrong; and multiplies, instead of indemnifying
losses."
