> Do you know, which one is jefferson's famous quote? By far, Jefferson's most famous quote is: "I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." --Thomas Jefferson This famous quotation is from a letter to Dr. Benjamin Rush of September 23, 1800. ME 10:173 But on second thought: This sounds like a "trick" queston. Actually, the preamble to the Declaration of Independence is probaby Jefferson's most famous quotation: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are greated equal; that they are endowed vy their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these, are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
