Thomas Jefferson
  • In every country and every age, the priest had been hostile to Liberty.

  • Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories.

  • It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.

  • One travels more usefully when alone, because he reflects more.

  • When angry count to ten before you speak. If very angry, count to one hundred.
