Thomas Jefferson
1179 citations

I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever, in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else, where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. If I could not go to heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all. ✨ Thomas Jefferson, Joyce Appleby, Terence Ball (1999). Jefferson: Political Writings, p.410, Cambridge University Press
