"Should things go wrong at any time,..." - Quote by Thomas Jefferson

“One generation cannot bind another.”

“Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.”

“I think myself that we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious. Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have ... The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases. The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first.”

“Ballots are the rightful and peaceful successors to bullets.”

“Healthy, well-informed, balanced criticism is the ozone of public life.”

“Where every man in a state has a vote, brutal laws are impossible.”

“You're going to face a choice in November. This is a choice between the policies that got us into thismess in the first place and the policies that got us out of this mess - and what the other sideis counting on is people not having a good memory.”

“Excessive taxation . . . will carry reason & reflection to every man's door, and particularly in the hour of election.”

“The trouble with Democrats is that they all want to run for President”
