More From Thomas Jefferson

Labor, being itself a commodity, is measured as such by the labor time needed to produce the labor-commodity. and what is needed to produce this labor-commodity? just enough labor time to produce the objects indispensable to the constant maintenance of labor, that is, to keep the worker alive and in a condition to propagate his race. the natural price of labor is no other than the wage minimum.
Race Maintenance Alive
All that serves labor serves the nation. all ^ that harms labor is treason to america. no line can be drawn between these two. if any man tells you he loves america, yet hates labor, he is a liar. if any man tells you he trusts america, yet fears labor, he is a fool. there is no america without labor, and to fleece the one is to rob the other.
Liars Hate Men
Christ, who said to the disciples, 'you have not chosen me, but i have chosen you,' can truly say to every group of christian friends, 'you have not chosen one another but i have chosen you for one another.'

Will you teach your children what we have taught our children? that the earth is our mother? what befalls the earth befalls all the sons of the earth. this we know: the earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. all things are connected like the blood that unites us all. man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. whatever he does to the web, he does to himself. one thing we know: our god is also your god. the earth is precious to him and to harm the earth is to heap contempt on its creator.
Mother Children Son
Earth walks on earth, glittering in gold; earth goes to earth, sooner than it wold; earth builds on earth, palaces and towers; earth says to earth, soon, all shall be ours.

What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.

When arthur schlesinger sr. pioneered the 'presidential greatness poll' in 1948, the top five were lincoln, washington, franklin d. roosevelt, woodrow wilson, and jefferson. only wilson appears to be seriously fading, probably because his support for the world war i-era sedition act now seems outrageous; in this analogy, woodrow is like the doors and the sedition act is oliver stone.
