Thomas Jefferson actually said...

"If people let the government decide what foods to eat and what medicines to take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as the souls who live under tyranny."

"If we think the people are not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it away from them but to inform their discretion."

"The care of human life and its happiness, and not its destruction, is the chief and only object of good government."

"if it were possible to obtain a single amendment to our Constitution, taking from the Federal Government the power of borrowing."
