This came to me in an e-mail and I thought it was worthy of blogging.



PRESIDENT KENNEDY ONCE SAID THAT A DINNER FOR NOBEL LAUREATES WAS THE GREATEST CONCENTRATION OF BRAIN POWER EVER GATHERED AT THE WHITE HOUSE, EXCEPT WHEN THOMAS JEFFERSON DINED ALONE.

one of the most brilliant men ever!


Obviously, he was a man ahead of his time.
HOW DID JEFFERSON KNOW?

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.'

Now, it is time to remind you to read Atlas Shrugged, again by Ayn Rand, once the 2nd largest seller in the world, next to the Bible....
