"No man has a natural right to..." - Quote by Thomas Jefferson

“Political interest [can] never be separated in the long run from moral right.”

“No man has done everything he can who has done only his best.”

“Let it be signified to me through any channelthat the possession of the Floridas would be desirable to the United States, andin sixty days it will be accomplished....penned in the language of truth, and divested of those expressions of servility which would persuade his majesty that we are asking favors and not rights.”

A man who is not free to risk his neck as an aviator or his soul as a heretic is not free at all; and the right to liberty begins, not at the age of 21 years but 21 seconds.”

“I am ever unwilling that [peace] should be disturbed as long asthe rights and interests of the nations can be preserved. But whensoever hostile aggressions on theserequire a resort to war, we must meet our duty and convince the world that we arejust friends and brave enemies.”

“If however the law is so promulgated that it of necessity makes you an agent of injustices against another, then I say to you ... break the law.”

“A lawyer's time and advice are his(her) stock in trade.”

“We're wild horses. We're going to eat your food, knock down your tent and poop on your shoes. We're protected by federal law, just like Richard Nixon.”
