One of those many quotes misattributed to Jefferson. (first time it ever appeared in print was in 2002)
Don't believe everything you see on Assbook. (or better yet, don't believe ANYTHING you see on Assbook) An alteration of: "There are two potential violators of man’s rights: the criminals and the government. The great achievement of the United States was to draw a distinction between these two — by forbidding to the second the legalized version of the activities of the first." From the 1963 essay Man's Rights by Ayn Rand

This DOES Come from Jefferson: "But is the spirit of the people an infallible, a permanent reliance? Is it government? Is this the kind of protection we receive in return for the rights we give up? Besides, the spirit of the times may alter, will alter. Our rulers will become corrupt, our people careless. A single zealot may commence persecutor, and better men be his victims. It can never be too often repeated, that the time for fixing every essential right on a legal basis is while our rulers are honest, and ourselves united." --Thomas Jefferson: Notes on Virginia, Q.XVII, 1782. ME 2:224
