"The spirit of 1776 is not dead. It has only been slumbering. The body
of the American people is substantially republican. But their virtuous
feelings have been played on by some fact with more fiction; they have
been the dupes of artful maneuvers, and made for a moment to be
willing instruments in forging chains for themselves. But times and
truth dissipated the delusion, and opened their eyes."
- Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Lomax, 1799
"We must make our election between economy and liberty, or
profusion and servitude."
-Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, 1816
"Government as well as religion has furnished its schisms,
its persecutions, and its devices for fattening idleness on
the earnings of the people."
-Thomas Jefferson to Charles Clay, 1815
"The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground."
-Thomas Jefferson to Edward Carrington, 1788
"Whenever our own dissensions shall let [monarchism and Anglicism] in
upon us, the last ray of free government closes on the horizon of the
world."
-Thomas Jefferson to William Duane, 1811
