While fact-checking a quote for a future entry, I encountered this handy guide to unconfirmed Jefferson quotes.

• Dissent is the highest form of patriotism.
• We should build an aristocracy of achievement based on a democracy of opportunity.
• An informed citizenry is the bulwark of a democracy.
• Information is the currency of democracy.
• A nation is as good as its values.
• There is nothing more unequal than the equal treatment of unequal people.
• When the government fears the people, there is liberty; When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.
• I have nothing but contempt for anyone who can spell a word only one way.
• I am a big believer in luck. The harder I work, the more I have.
  

Misattributing that first quote above has been offered as proof of the perfidy and intellectual bankrupty of Democrats albeit by a self-described right-wing warmonger.
