Motivational Quote by Thomas Jefferson — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle.”

“Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.”

“And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.”

“No government ought to be without censors: and where the press is free, no one ever will. If virtuous, it need not fear the fair operation of attack and defence. Nature has given to man no other means of sifting out the truth either in religion, law, or politics. I think it as honorable to the government neither to know, nor notice, it’s sycophants or censors, as it would be undignified and criminal to pamper the former and persecute the latter.”

“God grant that men of principle shall be our principal men.”

“No people who are ignorant can be truly free.”

“You judge someone's love by their actions because as, we all should know, love is an action and not a mantra. I understand that when we love, we don't destroy the things of those that we love; we preserve and protect them. We don't speak ill of those that we love; we speak well about them, and protect their social standing. On the contrary, when it comes to our enemies, we could go all out. We could destroy their reputation, psyche, and health. And in some cases, we could destroy their materialistic things as well. So, which one are they doing for you? Ask yourself this question before you call it love.”

“Small thinking and big dreams is an oxymoron”

“Focus on the positives, look toward the future. Concentrate on where you want to be, how you want to feel, and remind yourself of that every hour of everyday until you believe it. Until you no longer have to repeat it. Know where you are going and only focus on that, stop dwelling on the rest”

“Today, the earth tells a story of the past, the present and the potential future.”

“If you lose five followers because you're fighting for the rights of one person, that's a win. However, if you gain five followers because you're suppressing the rights of one person, that's a loss.”
