He was our most eloquent spokesman on th e founding principles of American self-government. As he himself said, "I kn ow my own principles to be pure and therefore am not ashamed of them. On the contrary, I wish them known and therefore willingly express them to everyon e. They are the same I have acted on from the year 1775 to this day, and are the same, I am sure, with those of the great body of the American people." (letter to Samuel Smith, 1798) "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, th at they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, and th at among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" =C2-Thomas Jefferson, July 4th, 1776 "All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to re main silent.=C2-" =C2-Thomas Jefferson "Difference of opinion is advantageous in religion. The several sects perfor m the office of a Censor - over each other.=C2-" =C2-Thomas Jefferson "How much pain they have cost us, the evils which have never happened.=C2 -" Thomas Jefferson "I do not find, in orthodox Christianity, one redeeming feature." =C2-Thom as Jefferson "I have recently been examining all the known superstitions of the world, an d do not find in our particular superstition (Christianity) one redeeming fe ature. They are all alike founded on fables and mythology.=C2-" =C2-Thom as Jefferson "I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.=C2-" =C2-Thomas Jefferson "I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us, that the less we use our power the greater it will be." =C2-Thomas Jefferson "I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporatio ns which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, an d bid defiance to the laws of our country.=C2-" =C2-Thomas Jefferson "I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in phi losophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend." =C2-Thomas Jefferson "=C2-never will, by any word or act, bow to the shrine of intolerance or a dmit a right of inquiry into the religious opinions of others." =C2-Thomas Jefferson "Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to ri ght themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.=C2-" =C2-Thomas Jefferson "No government ought to be without censors; and where the press is free no o ne ever will." =C2-Thomas Jefferson "Our country is now taking so steady a course as to show by what road it wil l pass to destruction, to wit: by consolidation of power first, and then cor ruption, its necessary consequence." =C2-Thomas Jefferson "Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we m ay be permitted to pursue it.=C2-" =C2-Thomas Jefferson "Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be on e, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded f ear.=C2-" =C2-Thomas Jefferson "The moment a person forms a theory, his imagination sees in every object on ly the tracts which favor that theory." =C2-Thomas Jefferson "War is an instrument entirely inefficient toward redressing wrong; and mult iplies, instead of indemnifying losses.=C2-" =C2-Thomas Jefferson "When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the governmen t fears the people, there is liberty.=C2-" =C2-Thomas Jefferson "The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it." Thomas Jefferson "What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from t ime to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?"
