The great interests of an agr...

The great interests of an agricultural, commercial, and manufacturing nation are so linked in union together that no permanent cause of prosperity to one of them can operate without extending its influence to the others. All these interests are alike under the protecting power of the legislative authority, and the duties of the representative bodies are to conciliate them in harmony together.

John Adams 189 quotes

When (an advocate) is not tho...

When (an advocate) is not thoroughly acquainted with the real strength and weakness of his cause, he knows not where to choose the most impressive argument. When the mark is shrouded in obscurity, the only substitute for accuracy in the aim is in the multitude of the shafts.

John Adams 189 quotes

America... goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.

The gigantic intellect, the envious temper, the ravenous ambition and the rotten heart of Daniel Webster.

The harmony of the nation is ...

The harmony of the nation is promoted and the whole Union is knit together by the sentiments of mutual respect, the habits of social intercourse, and the ties of personal friendship formed between the representatives of its several parts in the performance of their service at this metropolis.

The experience of all former ...

The experience of all former ages had shown that of all human governments, democracy was the most unstable, fluctuating and short-lived.

John Adams 189 quotes

The declaration that our Peop...

The declaration that our People are hostile to a government made by themselves, for themselves, and conducted by themselves, is an insult.

John Adams 189 quotes

I have made it a practice for...

I have made it a practice for several years to read the Bible through in the course of every year. I usually devote to this reading the first hour after I rise every morning. As, including the Apocrypha, it contains about fourteen hundred chapters, and as I meet with occasional interruptions, when this reading is for single days, and sometimes for weeks, or even months, suspended, my rule is to read five chapters every morning, which leaves an allowance of about one-forth of the time for such interruptions.

John Adams 189 quotes

A man's diary is a record in ...

A man's diary is a record in youth of his sentiments, in middle age of his actions, in old age of his reflections.

John Adams 189 quotes

I have myself, for many years, made it a practice to read through the Bible once ever year.... My custom is, to read four to five chapters every morning immediately after rising from my bed. I employs about an hour of my time.

John Adams 189 quotes

I inhabit a weak, frail, deca...

I inhabit a weak, frail, decayed tenement; battered by the winds and broken in on by the storms, and, from all I can learn, the landlord does not intend to repair.

John Adams 189 quotes

I told him that I thought it ...

I told him that I thought it was law logic - an artificial system of reasoning, exclusively used in Courts of justice, but good for nothing anywhere else.

John Adams 189 quotes

Life is a problem; mortal man was made to solve the solemn problem right or wrong.

John Adams 189 quotes

The hope of a Christian is in...

The hope of a Christian is inseparable from his faith. Whoever believes in the Divine inspiration of the Holy Scriptures must hope that the religion of Jesus shall prevail throughout the earth.

John Adams 189 quotes

My stern chase after time is,...

My stern chase after time is, to borrow a simile from Tom Paine, like the race of a man with a wooden leg after a horse.

John Adams 189 quotes

Our political way of life is ...

Our political way of life is by the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God, and of course presupposes the existence of God, the moral ruler of the universe, and a rule of right and wrong, of just and unjust, binding upon man, preceding all institutions of human society and government.

John Adams 189 quotes

In what light soever we regar...

In what light soever we regard the Bible, whether with reference to revelation, to history, or to morality, it is an invaluable and inexhaustible mine of knowledge and virtue.

John Adams 189 quotes

Is it not that, in the chain ...

Is it not that, in the chain of human events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Saviour?

John Adams 189 quotes

This hand, to tyrants ever sw...

This hand, to tyrants ever sworn the foe, For Freedom only deals the deadly blow; Then sheathes in calm repose the vengeful blade, For gentle peace in Freedom's hallowed shade.

John Adams 189 quotes

The hope of a Christian is in...

The hope of a Christian is inseparable from his faith. Whoever believes in the divine inspiration of the Holy Scriptures must hope that the religion of Jesus shall prevail throughout the earth. Never since the foundation of the world have the prospects of mankind been more encouraging to that hope than they appear to be at the present time. And may the associated distribution of the Bible proceed and prosper till the Lord shall have made 'bare His holy arm in the eyes of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God' (Isaiah 52:10).
