More From Thomas Jefferson

The statue of liberty was never meant to be a symbol of immigration. it was meant to be a symbol of liberty and freedom. lady liberty is stepping forward. she is meant to be carrying the torch of liberty from the united states to the rest of the world. the torch is not to light the way to the united states. it is to light the way to liberty to the rest of the world. lady liberty is carrying the light of liberty to the rest of the world. it is not a beacon for immigrants to get to this country because they're tired, they're poor, they're huddled, hungry, or thirsty.
Country Tired Liberty
The law is equal before all of us; but we are not all equal before the law. virtually there is one law for the rich and another for the poor, one law for the cunning and another for the simple, one law for the forceful and another for the feeble, one law for the ignorant and another for the learned, one law for the brave and another for the timid, and within family limits one law for the parent and no law at all for the child.

Is the relinquishment of the trial by jury and the liberty of the press necessary for your liberty? will the abandonment of your most sacred rights tend to the security of your liberty? liberty, the greatest of all earlthy blessings - give us that precious jewel, and you may take every things else! . . . guard with jealous attention the public liberty. suspect every one who approaches that jewel.
Freedom Jealous Blessing
Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it ... the spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which seeks to understand the minds of other men and women; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which weighs their interests alongside its own without bias.
Freedom Lying Heart
The judge does not make the law. it is people that make the law. therefore if a law is unjust, and if the judge judges according to the law, that is justice, even if it is not just.
Law People Justice
Democracy is liberty - a liberty which does not infringe on the liberty nor encroach on the rights of others; a liberty which maintains strict discipline, and makes law its guarantee and the basis of its exercise. this alone is true liberty; this alone can produce true democracy.
