It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God.
From Thomas Jefferson
I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.
Do not bite at the bait of pleasure, till you know there is no hook beneath it.

Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories.
The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that... it is their right and duty to be at all times armed.
I cannot live without books.
Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal 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.
