I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever,

I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any
party of men whatever, in religion, in philosophy, in politics or in
anything else, where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an
addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. If I could
not go to Heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all.
-- Thomas Jefferson, Letter To Francis Hopkinson, Paris Mar. 13, 1789
