"His system of morality was the most..." - Quote by Thomas Jefferson

“Man [is] a rational animal, endowed by nature with rights and with an innate sense of justice.”

“It is a melancholy truth, that a suppression of the press could not more completely deprive the nation of its benefits than is done by its abandoned prostitution to falsehood.”

“Every citizen should be a soldier. This was the case with the Greeks and Romans, and must be that of every free state.”

“Whatever I thought right, to others seemed wrong; what I held to be bad, others approved of.”

“Cowards can never be moral.”

“Human nature is disposed to do good.”

“(A ruler) cannot and should not keep his word when to do so would go against his interests or when the reason he pledged it no longer holds.”

“A company that does not produce anything other than money is a poor business”

“Better the whole people perish than that injustice be done”
