Quotes to Ponder: Thomas Jefferson


"Is uniformity attainable? Millions of innocent men, women, and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined, imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half the world fools, and the other half hypocrites."

-- Thomas Jefferson(1743-1826)
US Founding Father
drafted the Declaration of Independence
3rd US President
