Comments from JFK's Favorite Brightest Man



At a dinner of intelligent men and women, John F. Kennedy said, "This is perhaps the assembly of the most intelligence ever to gather at one time in the White House with the exception of when Thomas
Jefferson dined alone . . . . !!"

This is what Thomas Jefferson said in 1802 . . . . :
"I believe that 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 the corporations that will grow up around them . . . . will deprive the people of all property . . . . until their children wake-up homeless, on the continent that their fathers conquered . . . . !!"

More quotes from Thomas Jefferson . . . .
"The strongest reason for the people to retain the Right . . . ."To keep and bear arms" . . . . Is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government . . . . !!"
-- Thomas Jefferson

"No free man shall ever be barred from the use of arms . . . . !!"
-- Thomas Jefferson

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time . . . . with the blood of patriots as well as tyrants . . . . !!"
-- Thomas Jefferson

"My reading of history, convinces me, that . . . . most bad government, results from too much government . . . . !!"
-- Thomas Jefferson

"I predict future happiness for Americans, if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people, under the pretense of taking care of them . . . . !!"
-- Thomas Jefferson

"To compel a man to subsidize, with his taxes, the propagation of ideas, which he disbelieves and abhors . . . . is sinful and tyrannical . . . . !!"
-- Thomas Jefferson

"The democracy will cease to exist, when . . . . you take away from those who are willing to work, and give to those who would not . . . . !!"
-- Thomas Jefferson

"It 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 . . . . !!"
-- Thomas Jefferson

"When we get piled upon one another, in large cities, as in Europe . . . . we shall become as corrupt as Europe . . . . !!"
-- Thomas Jefferson
