There's no such thing as a free lunch, unless you have a coupon for a free lunch...or someone gives you a lunch...never mind.

John Adams 464 quotes

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

John Adams 464 quotes

Power always thinks it has a ...

Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views beyond the comprehension of the weak.

John Adams 464 quotes

I have accepted a seat in the House of Representatives, and thereby have consented to my own ruin, to your ruin, and to the ruin of our children. I give you this warning that you may prepare your mind for your fate.

John Adams 464 quotes

I always consider the settlement of America with reverence and wonder, as the opening of a grand scene and design in providence, for the illumination of the ignorant and the emancipation of the slavish part of mankind all over the earth.

John Adams 464 quotes

My country has contrived for ...

My country has contrived for me the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived.

John Adams 464 quotes

The essence of a free government consists in an effectual control of rivalries.

John Adams 464 quotes

I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.

John Adams 464 quotes

When people talk of the freedom of writing, speaking or thinking I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists; but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more.

John Adams 464 quotes

The furnace of affliction produces refinement, in states as well as individuals.

Children should be educated and instructed in the principles of freedom.

John Adams 464 quotes

Be not intimidated... nor suf...

Be not intimidated... nor suffer yourselves to be wheedled out of your liberties by any pretense of politeness, delicacy, or decency. These, as they are often used, are but three different names for hypocrisy, chicanery and cowardice.

John Adams 464 quotes

The date will be the most mem...

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.

John Adams 464 quotes

It would be an absurdity for ...

It would be an absurdity for jurors to be required to accept the judge's view of the law, against their own opinion, judgment, and conscience.

John Adams 464 quotes

We have no government armed w...

We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other.

John Adams 464 quotes

The destiny of America is to ...

The destiny of America is to carry the gospel of Jesus Christ to all men everywhere.

John Adams 464 quotes

It should be your care, there...

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

The Declaration of Independence laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity.

Always stand on principle even if you stand alone.

Every problem is an opportunity in disguise.
