''He who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and third time, till at length it becomes habitual; he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world's believing him. This falsehood of tongue leads to that of the heart, and in time depraves all
''I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.''

<!--** This is cited as from a letter to Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin (1802) in ''Flight to Financial Freedom - Fasten Your Finances'' (2007) by Nathan A. Martin, and earlier appears in ''How to Take Advantage of the People Who Are Trying to Take Advantage of You'' (2006) by Joseph Stephen Breese Morse, p. 51. It appears to be a concoction of some actual statements by Jefferson, and others that may not be. It has not yet been found to appear earlier in precisely this form.
** ''Respectfully Quoted'' says this is "obviously spurious", noting that the OED's earliest citation for the word "deflation" is from 1920.
** Variant: I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a monied aristocracy that has set the Government at defiance. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.
*** This is an earlier variant which contains a portion of the above statement and appears in ''Life Work of Thomas L. Nugent'' (1896) compiled by Catharine Nugent. Both of these expressions appear to mix a well documented statement that is to be found in Jefferson's published letters, and poorly documented ones which do not. The only portions of them thus far definitely sourced to Jefferson occur in a [http://www.britannica.com/presidents/article-9116907 letter to John Taylor (28 May 1816)] [ME 15:23]: "'''I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies'''." This is quoted more extensively in the sourced section.-->
