How did  Jefferson  know?

John F. Kennedy held a dinner in the white House for a group of the

brightest minds in the nation at that time. He made this statement:

"This is perhaps the assembly of the most intelligence ever to

gather at one time in the White House with the exception of

when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."

Especially read the last quote from
1802.

When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe,

we shall become as corrupt as  Europe.

Thomas Jefferson:

The democracy will cease to exist

when you take away from those

who are willing to work and give to those who would not.

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.

Thomas Jefferson:

No free man shall ever be debarred

the use of arms.

Thomas Jefferson:

The strongest reason for the

people to retain the right to keep and bear arms

is, as a last resort, to protect themselves

against tyranny in government.

Thomas Jefferson:

The tree of liberty must be

refreshed from time to time with the blood of

patriots and tyrants.

Thomas Jefferson:

To compel a man to subsidize with

his taxes the propagation of ideas which he

disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.

Thomas Jefferson:

Thomas  Jefferson said in 1802:

'I believe that banking institutions
are more dangerous to

our liberties than standing armies.

If
the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their

currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations
that will

grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property - until their
children

wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.'
