Title: THOMAS JEFFERSON
Post by: MOONIE on May 14, 2013, 10:15:21 pm
When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty.
Thomas Jefferson

My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.
Thomas Jefferson

A wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circlue of our felicities.
Thomas Jefferson

No freeman shall be debarred the use of arms.
Thomas Jefferson

One loves to possess arms, though they hope never to have occasion for them.
Thomas Jefferson

Amazing how someone from so long ago had so much more wisdom and common sense than the hyper-educated of today have.
