Let justice be done though the heavens should fall.

John Adams 464 quotes

There are persons whom in my ...

There are persons whom in my heart I despise, others I abhor. Yet I am not obliged to inform the one of my contempt, nor the other of my detestation. This kind of dissimulation...is a necessary branch of wisdom, and so far from being immoral...that it is a duty and a virtue.

John Adams 464 quotes

The moment the idea is admitt...

The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the law of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence.

I shall have liberty to think for myself without molesting others or being molested myself.

It will be celebrated... with pomp and parade... bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other.

I must judge for myself, but how can I judge, how can any man judge, unless his mind has been opened and enlarged by reading.

It is not only the juror's right, but his duty to find the verdict according to his own best understanding, judgment and conscience, though in direct opposition to the instruction of the court.

John Adams 464 quotes

Nip the shoots of arbitrary p...

Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachments is to, grow every day more encroaching; like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour.

John Adams 464 quotes

Without religion this world would be something not fit to be mentioned in polite company, I mean Hell.

John Adams 464 quotes

I have examined all religions, and the result is that the Bible is the best book in the world.

John Adams 464 quotes

America is destined to be peopled by one nation, speaking one language, professing one general system of religious and political principles, and accustomed to one general tenor of social usages and customs.

John Adams 464 quotes

It is the duty of all men in ...

It is the duty of all men in society, publicly, and at stated seasons, to worship the SUPREME BEING, the great Creator and Preserver of the universe. And no subject shall be hurt, molested, or restrained, in his person, liberty, or estate, for worshipping GOD in the manner most agreeable to the dictates of his own conscience; or for his religious profession or sentiments; provided he doth not disturb the public peace, or obstruct others in their religious worship.

John Adams 464 quotes

The United States is not a Christian nation any more than it is a Jewish or a Mohammedan nation.

John Adams 464 quotes

Before God, I believe the hour has come. My judgment approves this measure, and my whole heart is in it. All that I have, and all that I am, and all that I hope in this life, I am now ready here to stake upon it. And I leave off as I began, that live or die, survive or perish, I am for the Declaration. It is my living sentiment, and by the blessing of God it shall be my dying sentiment. Independence now, and Independence for ever!

John Adams 464 quotes

The way to secure liberty is ...

The way to secure liberty is to place it in the people's hands, that is, to give them the power at all times to defend it in the legislature and in the courts of justice.

John Adams 464 quotes

Power always sincerely, conscientiously, de tr?s bon foi, believes itself right. Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak.

John Adams 464 quotes

This is a revolution, damn it! We're going to have to offend somebody!

The Christian religion is, above all the religions that ever prevailed or existed in ancient or modern times, the religion of wisdom, virtue, equity and humanity.
