Quotes from Thomas Jefferson All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent. Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty. Experience hath shown, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny. For a people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well-organized and armed militia is their best security. He who knows best knows how little he knows. Leave no authority existing not responsible to the people. No freeman shall be debarred the use of arms. Politics is such a torment that I advise
everyone I love not to mix with it. Whenever a man has cast a longing eye on offices, a rottenness begins in his conduct. Thomas Jefferson Quotes from George Washington The marvel of all history is the patience with which men and women submit to burdens unnecessarily laid upon them by their governments. Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples' liberty's teeth. Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.
Guard against the impostures
of pretended patriotism.
It is far better to be
alone, than to be in bad company.
The constitution vests the
power of declaring war in Congress; therefore no offensive expedition of
importance can be undertaken until after they shall have deliberated upon the
subject and authorized such a measure. To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving peace. When we assumed the Soldier, we did not lay aside the Citizen. __________________________________________________________________________________ |
