Thomas
Jefferson
"When we get
piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as
corrupt as Europe."
"The democracy
will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing
to work and give to those who would not."
"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."
"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."
"My reading
of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government."
"No
free man shall ever be debarred the use of
arms."
"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."
"The tree
of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and
tyrants."
"To compel
a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves
and abhors
is sinful and tyrannical."
"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." |
