It should be your care, therefore, and mine, to elevate the minds of our children and exalt their courage; to accelerate and animate their industry and activity; to excite in them an habitual contempt of meanness, abhorrence of injustice and inhumanity, and an ambition to excel in every capacity, faculty, and virtue. If we suffer their minds to grovel and creep in infancy, they will grovel all their lives.

John Adams 464 quotes

I am determined to control events, not be controlled by them.

John Adams 464 quotes

But I must submit all my Hopes...

But I must submit all my Hopes and Fears, to an overruling Providence, in which, unfashionable as the Faith may be, I firmly believe.

John Adams 464 quotes

The only thing most people do ...

The only thing most people do better than anyone else is read their own handwriting.

John Adams 464 quotes

The true source of our sufferi...

The true source of our sufferings has been our timidity.

John Adams 464 quotes

...Cities may be rebuilt, and ...

...Cities may be rebuilt, and a People reduced to Poverty, may acquire fresh Property: But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty once lost is lost forever. When the People once surrendered their share in the Legislature, and their Right of defending the Limitations upon the Government, and of resisting every Encroachment upon them, they can never regain it.

John Adams 464 quotes

This would be the best of all ...

This would be the best of all possible worlds, if there were no religion in it.

John Adams 464 quotes

[L]iberty must at all hazards ...

[L]iberty must at all hazards be supported. We have a right to it, derived from our Maker. But if we had not, our fathers have earned and bought it for us, at the expense of their ease, their estates, their pleasure, and their blood.

John Adams 464 quotes

Let justice be done though the heavens should fall.

John Adams 464 quotes

There is no greater guilt than the unneccessary war.

John Adams 464 quotes

We may please ourselves with t...

We may please ourselves with the prospect of free and popular governments. But there is great danger that those governments will not make us happy. God grant they may. But I fear that in every assembly, members will obtain an influence by noise, not sense. By meanness, not greatness. By ignorance, not learning. By contracted hearts, not large souls.

John Adams 464 quotes

Politics are a labyrinth without a clue.

John Adams 464 quotes

All great changes are irksome ...

All great changes are irksome to the human mind, especially those which are attended with great dangers and uncertain effects.

John Adams 464 quotes

They worry one another like mastiffs, scrambling for rank and pay like apes for nuts.

John Adams 464 quotes

People and nations are forged ...

People and nations are forged in the fires of adversity.

John Adams 464 quotes

Government is nothing more tha...

Government is nothing more than the combined force of society, or the united power of the multitude, for the peace, order, safety, good and happiness of the people.

John Adams 464 quotes

Ambition is one of the ungover...

Ambition is one of the ungovernable passions of the human heart. The love of power is insatiable and uncontrollable.

John Adams 464 quotes

It is weakness rather than wickedness which renders men unfit to be trusted with unlimited power.

John Adams 464 quotes

Arms in the hands of citizens ...

Arms in the hands of citizens may be used at individual discretion... in private self-defense.

John Adams 464 quotes

The date will be the most memo...

The date will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.
