single-handedly created the
University of Virginia and served as its first president.
At 83, died on the
50th anniversary of the
Signing of the Declaration of Independence
along with John
Adams.
Thomas Jefferson
knew because he himself
studied the previous failed attempts at government.
He understood actual
history, the nature of God,
His laws and the
nature of man.
That happens to be
way more than what
most understand today.
Jefferson really
knew his stuff.
A voice from the
past to lead us in the future:
John F. Kennedy held
a dinner in the white
House for a group of the brightest minds
in the nation at
that time. He made this statement:
"This is
perhaps the assembly
of the most
intelligence ever to gather at one
time in the White House with the exception
of when Thomas
Jefferson dined alone."
"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."
I wish we could get this out to
every American!
I'm doing my part. So Please do
yours.
