We have a collection of 10 Men quotes from Thomas Jefferson
"A wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circlue of our felicities." (ID 43783)
"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty." (ID 43855)

"As our enemies have found we can reason like men, so now let us show them we can fight like men also." (ID 43950)

"I have no fear that the result of our experiment will be that men may be trusted to govern themselves without a master." (ID 44021)

"It takes time to persuade men to do even what is for their own good." (ID 44189)
"There is a natural aristocracy among men. The grounds of this are virtue and talents." (ID 44547)
