Words of Wisdom From Thomas Jefferson

"Say nothing of my religion. It is known to God and myself alone. Its evidence before the world is to be sought in my life: if it has been honest and dutiful to society the religion which has regulated it cannot be a bad one."

"Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear."

"The advertisement is the most truthful part of a newspaper."

"An honest man can feel no pleasure in the exercise of power over his fellow citizens."

"In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock."
