"A society that will trade a little..." - Quote by Thomas Jefferson

“There is not in the British empire a man who more cordially loves a union with Great Britain than I do. But by the God that made me, I will cease to exist before I yield to a connection on such terms as the British Parliament propose.”

“That liberty [is pure] which is to go to all, and not to the few or the rich alone.”

“Government is being founded on opinion, the opinion of the public, even when it is wrong, ought to be respected to a certain degree.”

“Our people shall be free”

“I believe that it should be perfectly lawful to print even things that outrage the pruderies and prejudices of the general, so long as any honest minority, however small, wants to read them. The remedy of the majority is not prohibition, but avoidance.”

“Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not have either one.”

“Things refuse to be mismanaged for long.”

“You must confine yourself within the modest limits of order.”

“An two men ride of a horse, one must ride behind.”
