Some favorite Thomas Jefferson quotes:
"We hold these truths to be sacred & undeniable; that all men are created equal & independent, that from that equal creation they derive rights inherent & inalienable, among which are the preservation of life, & liberty, & the pursuit of happiness"
"their [American] legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between church and State"
"A private central bank issuing the public currency is a greater menace to the liberties of the people than a standing army. We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt"
"I wish it were possible to obtain a single amendment to our Constitution...an additional article, taking from the federal government their power of borrowing"
"No one has a natural right to the trade of money lender, but he who has money to lend"
(take that, evil Federal Reserve! TJ would be appalled)
