Quote by Thomas Jefferson
Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact

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. – Thomas Jefferson
