John Kennedy once said to a assembled group of scholars in the White House, "I think this is the most extraordinary collection
of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered at the White
House - with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined
alone."
The quotes below could prove his point:
When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe.

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.

government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of
taking care of them.

No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.

arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in
government.

Very Interesting Quote:
In light of the present financial crisis, it's interesting to read what
Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:
"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.
