“Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear”.
Thomas Jefferson

The only quote I can think of from Jackson was something like "The only good Indian is a dead Indian". (Jackson isn't my favorite president)

Anyway, if God created me in his image, I’m pretty sure he has a sense of humor.
Thanks for your answers!

If there was more questioning and more accountability (personal, government, so on) we probably wouldn't have as much trouble as we do today.
It's a great quote. Question authority, it's the only way we can learn and grow mentally and spiritually.

Jefferson is a fave of mine, but he had his flaws. They made him human, so I can't fault him. Great quote!

And they say our nation was founded by devout believers! : )
Fireball, the quote references questioning the existence of god... Why on earth would it not belong *here*?

I don't think he should have used servile twice in the same sentence.
