A fairly thorough web site failed to produce the above
quotation. Other quoatations from Jeffereson demonstrate his
distrust of government or other concentrated power. Some
examples:
Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these
ends [life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness] it is the
right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute
new government...
Thomas Jefferson (The Declaration of Independence)
It is error alone which needs the support of government.
Truth can stand by itself.
Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God
The will of the people is the only legitimate foundation of
any government, and to protect its free expression should be
our first object.
Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is
just: that his justice cannot sleep forever.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826), Notes on the State of
Virginia - denouncing the evils of slavery
The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on
certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive.
That government is best which governs the least, because its
people discipline themselves.
I will leave it to members of the list to find others,
there are plenty!
