신문 없는 정부와 정부 없는 신문 둘 중에 고르라면, 나는 한치의 망설임도 없이 정부 없는 신문을 택하겠다.

– 토머스 제퍼슨

Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.

– Thomas Jefferson

나는 신문 없는 정부보다 정부 없는 신문을 택하겠다.

– T. 제퍼슨

The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.

– Thomas Jefferson
