Quote by Thomas Jefferson
I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society

I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them but to inform their discretion. – Thomas Jefferson

Other quotes by Thomas Jefferson

Are there no means of coercing injustice more gratifying to our nature than a waste of the blood of thousands and of the labor of millions of our fellow creatures? – Thomas Jefferson
