HOW DID JEFFERSON KNOW?

When we get piled

upon one another in large cities, as in Europe,

we shall become as corrupt as Europe.

Thomas Jefferson

The democracy will cease to exist

when you take away from those

who are willing to work and give to those who would not.

Thomas Jefferson

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.

Thomas Jefferson

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.

Thomas Jefferson

My reading of history convinces me

that most bad government results from too much

government.

Thomas Jefferson

No free man shall ever be debarred

the use of arms.

Thomas Jefferson

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.

Thomas Jefferson

The tree of liberty must be

refreshed from time to time with the blood of

patriots and tyrants.

Thomas Jefferson

To compel a man to subsidize with

his taxes the propagation of ideas which he

disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.

Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:

'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.'
