I just wanted to share a few of my favorite quotes from the greatest founding father of them all, Thomas Jefferson. What would he say about the state of the nation now?
I abhor war and view it as the greatest scourge of mankind.
I have seen enough of one war never to wish to see another.
Conquest is not in our principles. It is inconsistent with our government.
Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.
I was bold in the pursuit of knowledge, never fearing to follow truth and reason to whatever results they led, and bearding every authority which stood in their way.
I have recently been examining all the known superstitions of the world, and do not find in our particular superstition (Christianity) one redeeming feature. They are all alike founded on fables and mythology.
All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.
Bodily decay is gloomy in prospect, but of all human contemplations the most abhorrent is body without mind.
Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.
Every generation needs a new revolution.
Commerce with all nations, alliance with none, should be our motto.
-So, anybody heard any good George W. Bush quotes lately?
