Thomas Jefferson

The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time.

If God is just, I tremble for my country.

It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God.

Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear.

I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.

Question with boldness even the existence of a God because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear.

I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just that his justice cannot sleep forever.
