More From Thomas Jefferson

Again, rayford slid to the ground, raising his arms. "my lord and my god, i am so unworthy." "and you, rayford, who once were alienated and an enemy in your mind by wicked works, yet now i have reconciled the body of my flesh through death to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in god's sight." "unworthy! unworthy!" rayford cried. "justified by faith," jesus said, "justified.

"judge not, that ye be not judge"... is an abdication of moral responsibility: it is a moral blank check one gives to others in exchange for a moral blank check one expects for oneself. there is no escape from the fact that men have to make choices; so long as men have to make choices, there is no escape from moral values; so long as moral values are at stake, no moral neutrality is possible. to abstain from condemning a torturer, is to become an accesory to the torture and murder of his victims. the moral principle to adopt... is: "judge, and be prepared to be judged."

I see people getting so caught up in celebrating diversity that they are neglecting their commonality. i don't see this as a good thing. the chinese culture has survived for more than five thousand years in part because the chinese have embraced the same language and culture. i hope i am wrong about this, and that the flame is still on beneath the great american melting pot. americans need each other, and a house divided, no matter the color of its occupants, is still divided. and divided we all fall.

A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. he would either be a lunatic - on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg - or else he would be the devil of hell. you must make your choice. either this man was, and is, the son of god; or else a madman or something worse. you can shut him up for a fool; you can spit at him and kill him as a demon; or you can fall at his feet and call him lord and god. but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. he has not left that open to us.

Where the principle of difference [between political parties] is as substantial and as strongly pronounced as between the republicans and the monocrats of our country, i hold it as honorable to take a firm and decided part and as immoral to pursue a middle line, as between the parties of honest men and rogues, into which every country is divided.

The entire object of true education is to make people not merely do the right things, but enjoy the right things — not merely industrious, but to love industry — not merely learned, but to love knowledge — not merely pure, but to love purity — not merely just, but to hunger and thirst after justice.

There was once a man, harry, called the steppenwolf. he went on two legs, wore clothes and was a human being, but nevertheless he was in reality a wolf of the steppes. he had learned a good deal of all that people of a good intelligence can, and was a fairly clever fellow. what he had not learned, however, was this: to find contentment in himself and his own life.
