Thomas Jefferson

It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world. 

-Thomas Jefferson

 

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. 

-Thomas Jefferson

 

My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.
