Original Note:
This quote cited has never been found in print, so it should not be attributed to Thomas Jefferson. According to the Monticello website, which is the home of Thomas Jefferson in Charlottesville, Virginia, this spurious quote seems to exist mostly on Twitter. https://www.monticello.org/research-education/thomas-jefferson-encyclopedia/government-will-one-day-be-corrupt-spurious-quotation/
