Thomas Jefferson actually said...

"We are firmly convinced, and we act on that conviction, that with nations as with individuals our interests soundly calculated will ever be found inseparable from our moral duties."

"The suppression of unnecessary offices, of useless establishments and expenses, enabled us to discontinue our internal taxes."

"We have therefore liberally furnished them with the implements of husbandry and household use."

"War will then be but a suspension of useful works, and a return to a state of peace, a return to the progress of improvement."
