Thomas Jefferson in some cases could be
called a prophet:
When we get piled upon one
another in large cities,
as in
Europe, we shall become as
corrupt
as Europe .
Thomas
Jefferson
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
It is incumbent
on
every generation to pay its own debts as it goes.
A
principle which if
acted on would save one-half the wars
of the world.
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
No free man shall ever
be debarred the use of arms.
Thomas
Jefferson
The strongest
reason for the people to
retain the
right to keep and bear
arms is, as a last
resort, to
protect themselves against tyranny in
government.
Thomas
Jefferson
The tree of
liberty
must be refreshed
from time to time with the blood of
patriots and
tyrants.
Thomas
Jefferson
To
compel a man to
subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas
which he
disbelieves and abhors is sinful and
tyrannical.

Very Interesting
Quote
In light of the present financial
crisis, it's interesting to read what Thomas
Jefferson said in
1802:
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered"
I WONDER HOW MUCH TIME WE HAVE LEFT? NOW GO BACK AND MEET PRESIDENT OBAMA, HIT YOUR BACK BUTTON.....
