    Thomas Jefferson
    It has been said the greatest volume of sheer brain power in one place
    occurred when Jefferson dined alone. -- John Kennedy

    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

    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

    To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas
    which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical. -- Thomas
    Jefferson

    Yes, we did produce a near-perfect republic. But will they keep it? Or will
    they, in the enjoyment of plenty, lose the memory of freedom? Material
    abundance without character is the path of destruction.
    -- T.J

    The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie
    the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will
    not become the legalized version of the first --T.J.


    And aint this beautiful?

    "The policy of the American government is to leave their citizens
    free, neither restraining nor aiding them in their pursuits."
    --Thomas Jefferson to M. L'Hommande, 1787.

    I am far, far from even being close to rich, and this is all I want.

      And Henry David Thoreau.

      That government is best which governs the least, because its people discipline themselves.

        A great man!

        all rings true today.

        "we the people" should apply to every place on earth.
