      - [Luck : Work]

I have ever deemed it more honorable and more profitable, too, to set a good example than to follow a bad one.
      - [Example]

I have supposed the black man, in his present state, might not be in body and mind equal to the white man; but it would be hazardous to affirm that, equally cultivated for a few generations, he would not become so.
      - [Equality]

I know it will give great offense to the clergy, but the advocate of religious freedom is to expect neither peace nor forgiveness from them.
      - [Freedom]

I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.
      - [Future]

I live for books.
      - [Books]

I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend.
      - [Difference]

I never did, or countenanced in public life, a single act inconsistent with the strictest good faith; having never believed there was one code of morality for a public, and another for a private man.
      - [Morality]

I thought the work would be very innocent, and one which might be confined to the reason of any man; not likely to be much read if let alone, but, if persecuted, it will be vindication of his rights to buy, and to read what he pleases.
      - [Censorship]

If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.
      - [Civilization]

      - [War]

      - [Fire]

      - [Freedom]

If the obstacles of bigotry and priestcraft can be surmounted, we may hope that common sense will suffice to do everything else.
      - [Common Sense]

If thinking men would have the courage to think for themselves, and to speak what they think, it would be found they do not differ in religious opinions as much as is supposed.
      - [Religion]

If we can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people, under the pretense of taking care of them, they must become happy.
      - [Government]

Ignorance is preferable to error; and he is less remote from truth who believes nothing, than he who believes what is wrong.
      - [Ignorance]

In a republican nation, whose citizens are to be led by reason and persuasion and not by force, the art of reasoning becomes of first importance.
      - [Reason]

In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock.
      - [Style]

In truth, politeness is artificial good humor, it covers the natural want of it, and ends by rendering habitual a substitute nearly equivalent to the real virtue.
      - [Politeness]

It is as useless to argue with those who have renounced the use of reason as to administer medication to the dead.
      - [Unreasonableness]

It is the trade of lawyers to question everything, yield nothing, and to talk by the hour.
      - [Lawyers]

It is unfortunate for our peace, that unmerited abuse wounds, while unmerited praise has not the power to heal.
      - [Peace]
