 A mind always employed is always happy. This is the true secret, the grand recipe, for felicity.

 A nation as a society forms a moral person, and every member of it is personally responsible for his society

 A nation as a society forms a moral person, and every member of it is personally responsible for his society

 A professorship of Theology should have no place in our institution (the University of Virginia)

 A republican government is slow to move, yet when once in motion, its momentum becomes irresistible

 A strong body makes the mind strong

 A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind.

 Above all things I hope the education of the common people will be attended to, convinced that on their good sense we may rely with the most security for the preservation of a due degree of liberty.
