Thomas Jefferson

Our country is now taking so steady a course as to show by what road it will pass to destruction, to wit: by consolidation of power first, and then corruption, its necessary consequence.

Power

Thomas Jefferson

Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear.

Fear

Thomas Jefferson

The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government.

Good

Thomas Jefferson

Whenever a man has cast a longing eye on offices, a rottenness begins in his conduct.
