This is an excellent place to check out the accuracy of the many chain emails that allegedly contain Jefferson's quotes. Just gotta take the time.

This page is a great resource to find Jefferson quotes -- sorted into helpful categories -- in one place. Too, since the Jefferson Encyclopedia is associated with the Jefferson Library, the accuracy and authenticity of the quotes is confirmed.

An invaluable and authoritative resource on what Jefferson really said and did not say. You could call it the “snopes.com” for Jefferson quotes.

I love this because Jefferson artfully articulates ideas in one or two sentences which would normally take me paragraphs to explain! Plus I love dragging these into conversations; Jefferson makes me look good.
