Top 5 quotes from Thomas Jefferson
"The will of the people is the only legitimate foundation of any government, and to protect its free expression should be our first object."
"No more good must be attempted than the people can bear."
"Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between Church and State."
"It is in our lives and not our words that our religion must be read."
"The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive."
