Forum Post: Words of comfort for the foot troops from Thomas Jefferson.

The following quotes are all from Thomas Jefferson, read them, for man does not live by bread alone:

All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

Whenever you do a thing, act as if all THE WORLD WERE WATCHING.

Experience demands that man is the only animal which devours his own kind, for I can apply no milder term to the general prey of the rich on the poor.

Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.

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

I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial by strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country.

We are not to expect to be translated from despotism to liberty in a featherbed.

When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, IT IS THEIR DUTY, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. Declaration of Independence

May God Bless you all for what your doing for all mankind.
