Heinlein It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ! For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here.~ Patrick Henry The sooner we all learn to make a decision between disapproval and censorship, the better off society will be... Censorship cannot get at the real evil, and it is an evil in itself.~ Granville Hicks There can be no public or private virtue unless the foundation of action is the practice of truth.~ George Jacob Holyoake Honest difference of views and honest debate are not disunity. They are the vital process of policy among free men.~ Herbert Hoover There are not enough jails, not enough policemen, not enough courts to enforce a law not supported by the people.~ Hubert H. Humphrey The end cannot justify the means for the simple and obvious reason that the means employed determine the nature of the ends produced.~ Aldous Huxley What are the moral convictions most fondly held by barbarous and semi-barbarous people? They are the convictions that authority is the soundest basis of belief; that merit attaches to readiness to believe; that the doubting disposition is a bad one, and skepticism is a sin.~ Thomas Henry Huxley The day that this country ceases to be free for irreligion, it will cease to be free for religion.~ Justice Robert H. Jackson Our civil rights have no dependence on our religious opinions, any more than our opinions in physics or geometry.~ Thomas Jefferson Our particular principles of religion are a subject of accountability to our god alone. I enquire after no man's and trouble none with mine; nor is it given to us in this life to know whether yours or mine, our friend's or our foe's, are exactly the right.~ Thomas Jefferson What a stupendous, what an incomprehensible machine is man! Who can endure toil, famine, stripes, imprisonment & death itself in vindication of his own liberty, and the next moment ... inflict on his fellow men a bondage, one hour of which is fraught with more misery than ages of that which he rose in rebellion to oppose.~ Thomas Jefferson [F]alsehood of the tongue leads to that of the heart, and in time depraves all its good dispositions.~ Thomas Jefferson There is no act, however virtuous, for which ingenuity may not find some bad motive.~ Thomas Jefferson The system of banking we have both equally and ever reprobated. I contemplate it as a blot left in all our constitutions, which, if not covered, will end in their destruction, which is already hit by the gamblers in corruption, and is sweeping away in its progress the fortunes and morals of our citizens. Funding I consider as limited, rightfully, to a redemption of the debt within the lives of a majority of the generation contracting it; every generation coming equally, by the laws of the Creator of the world, to the free possession of the earth he made for their subsistence, unincumbered by their predecessors, who, like them, were but tenants for life.~ Thomas Jefferson We shall have our follies without doubt. Some one or more of them will always be afloat. But ours will be the follies of enthusiasm, not of bigotry, not of Jesuitism. Bigotry is the disease of ignorance, of morbid minds; enthusiasm of the free and buoyant. Education and free discussion are the antidotes of both.~ Thomas Jefferson I view great cities as pestilential to the morals, the health and the liberties of man. True, they nourish some of the elegant arts; but the useful ones can thrive elsewhere; and less perfection in the others, with more health, virtue and freedom, would be my choice.~ Thomas Jefferson Money and not morality is the principle of commerce and commercial nations.~ Thomas Jefferson The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the Supreme Being as his Father, in the womb of a virgin will be classified with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter. But we may hope that the dawn of reason and freedom of thought in these United States will do away with this artificial scaffolding and restore to us the primitive and genuine doctrines of this most venerated Reformer of human errors.~ Thomas Jefferson Stop judging by mere appearances, and make a right judgment.~ Jesus of Nazareth Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
