The Sermon on the Mount comman...

The Sermon on the Mount commands me to lay up for myself treasures, not upon earth, but in Heaven. My hopes of a future life are all founded upon the Gospel of Christ.

John Adams 189 quotes

To live without having a Cicer...

To live without having a Cicero and a Tacitus at hand seems to me as if it was aprivation of one of my limbs.

John Adams 189 quotes

I have for many years made it ...

I have for many years made it a practice to read through the Bible once every year.

John Adams 189 quotes

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

And may that Being who is supr...

And may that Being who is supreme over all, the Patron of order, the Fountain of justice, and the Protector, in all ages of the world, of virtuous liberty, continue His blessing upon this nation and its government, and give it all possible success and duration, consistent with the ends of His providence.

John Adams 189 quotes

Whenever vanity and gaiety, a ...

Whenever vanity and gaiety, a love of pomp and dress, furniture, equipage, buildings, great company, expensive diversions, and elegant entertainments get the better of the principles and judgments of men and women, there is no knowing where they will stop, nor into what evils, natural, moral, or political, they will lead us.

John Adams 189 quotes

The four most miserable years ...

The four most miserable years of my life were my four years in the presidency.

John Adams 189 quotes

The conflict between the princ...

The conflict between the principle of liberty and the fact of slavery is coming gradually to an issue. Slavery has now the power, and falls into convulsions at the approach of freedom.

John Adams 189 quotes

I would much rather be found g...

I would much rather be found guilty of making a serious mistake in judgment, than to be accused of being even a little bit insincere.

John Adams 189 quotes

I want a warm and faithful fri...

I want a warm and faithful friend, To cheer the adverse hour; Who ne'er to flatter will descend, Nor bend the knee to power,- A friend to chide me when I'm wrong, My inmost soul to see; And that my friendship prove as strong For him as his for me.

John Adams 189 quotes

This hand, to tyrants ever swo...

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

Find a mission that you can gi...

Find a mission that you can give yourself over to and then spend your days moving that mission forward. Man is made so that when anything fires his soul the impossibilities vanish. The influence of each human being on others in this life is a kind of immortality.

John Adams 189 quotes

Wherever the standard of freed...

Wherever the standard of freedom and independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will be America's heart, her benedictions and her prayers.

John Adams 189 quotes

It is so obvious to every reas...

It is so obvious to every reasonable being that he did not make himself, and the world in which he inhabits could as little make itself, that the moment we begin to exercise the power of reflection, it seems impossible to escape the conviction that there is a Creator.

John Adams 189 quotes

The Constitution had provided ...

The Constitution had provided that all the public functionaries of the Union...should be under oath or affirmation for its support. The homage of religious faith was thus superadded to all the obligations of temporal law to give it strength.

John Adams 189 quotes

The magistrate is the servant ...

The magistrate is the servant not of his own desires, not even of the people, but of his God

John Adams 189 quotes

But America is a great, unwiel...

But America is a great, unwieldy Body. Its Progress must be slow... Like a Coach and six - the swiftest Horses must be slackened and the slowest quickened, that all may keep an even Pace.

John Adams 189 quotes

Let us not be unmindful that liberty is power, that the nation blessed with the largest portion of liberty must in proportion to its numbers be the most powerful nation upon earth.

John Adams 189 quotes

America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own. Sir Anthony Hopkins portrayal of me was adequate. I do believe that my sideburns were of substantially higher quality, however.

John Adams 189 quotes

The law is an artificial human...

The law is an artificial human construct, quite arbitrary, and of absolutely no use anywhere else but in a court of law!
