Up for some Thomas Jefferson Quotes?

by Ann Ambrose | Filed in: American History | 5:04pm EST

How are your 4th of July celebration plans coming along? Some of us at PUPQuotable Jefferson cover plan on breaking out the beach umbrellas, while others are looking forward to the fireworks and picnicking. Personally, I’m looking forward to the food and hopefully, some R&R.

Jefferson’s daily quotes have been added to our website, so for you quote and/or Thomas Jefferson lovers, check out today’s quote on The Quotable Jefferson page. Then check back each day for another TJ quote.

As you no doubt know, in honor of Independence Day, this Friday’s book giveaway is The Quotable Jefferson. All our Facebook followers have a chance to win, so if you’re not one, now’s the time to join.

Woooohoooo! Celebration time, here we come.

    Thomas Jefferson has some brilliant quotes, my favorite being “All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.”

    We need more people like Thomas Jefferson these days.
    His keen instincts into the hearts of men is unique in American history. Great to have this info available.

    Its amazing to me to think that our country was founded by such brilliant thinkers. Its because of them that we are celebrating this Independence Day.

    I love this quote :

    “A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks.”
