From The Jeffersonian Cyclopedia : a comprehensive collection of the views of Thomas Jefferson : It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world. (p. 227) I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. (p. 271) To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical. (p. 663)
