I thought I would post some quotes from one of our founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson, in honor of the 4th of July.
“A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned – this is the sum of good government.”
“All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.”
“Never spend your money before you have it.”
“The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers.”
“The will of the people is the only legitimate foundation of any government, and to protect its free expression should be our first object.”
“I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.”
