| |  Need a Source on a T. Jefferson Quote!
Where did Jefferson write, (paraphrased) "We're the friends of freedom for people everywhere, but the guarantors of only our own."
????? THANKS! ??????

That sounds like John Quincy Adams after he penned the Monroe Doctrine, are you sure you are quoting Jefferson?

Maybe this? From my notes:
"Our attachment to no nation upon earth should supplant our attachment to liberty." (Declaration of the Causes and Necessity for Taking Up Arms. 1775.
