To believe all men honest is folly. To believe none is something worse  (John Adams Quotes) The form of government which communicates ease, comfort, security, or, in one word, happiness, to the greatest number of persons, and in the greatest degree, is the best  (John Adams Quotes) Banks have done more injury to the religion, morality, tranquility, prosperity, and even wealth of the nation than they can have done or ever will do good  (John Adams Quotes) That the desires of the majority of the people are often for injustice and inhumanity against the minority, is demonstrated by every page of the history of the world  (John Adams Quotes) Property monopolized or in the possession of a few is a curse to mankind  (John Adams 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.

Liberty, once lost, is lost forever  (John Adams Quotes) There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution  (John Adams Quotes) [L]iberty must at all hazards be supported.

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 Quotes) Look, in 1800 the sainted Thomas Jefferson arranged to hire a notorious slanderer named James Callender, who worked as a writer at a Republican newspaper in Richmond, Va. Read some of what he wrote about John Adams. This was a personal slander  (John Adams Quotes) I must study Politicks and War that my sons may have liberty to study Mathematicks and Philosophy. My sons ought to study Mathematicks and Philosophy, Geography, natural History, Naval Architecture, navigation, Commerce and Agriculture, in order to give their Children a right to study Painting, Poetry, Musick, Architecture, Statuary, Tapestry and Porcelaine. (12 May 1780)  (John Adams Quotes) All that I am my mother made me. - John Quincy Adams. Children and mothers never truly part  (John Adams Quotes) My first day on the set of ‘John Adams’, I was just supposed to fly to Virginia for a costume fitting. But the director figured, why not shoot it, too? So they threw me into a dress that didn’t fit, gave me lines I hadn’t seen, in a dialect I didn’t know, and two screaming, arching infants  (John Adams Quotes) John Quincy Adams most certainly was a part of the Revolutionary War era. He was a young boy, but he was actively involved  (John Adams Quotes) I’ve chosen not to challenge the rule of law, because in our system there really is no intermediate step between a Supreme Court decision and violent revolution. When the Supreme Court makes a decision, no matter how strongly one disagrees with it, one faces a choice are we, in John Adams’ phrase, a nation of laws, or is it a contest made on raw power?  (John Adams Quotes) There are plenty of Minutemen. People willing to be Minutemen. Where are the people that want to be George Washington? Where are the Benjamin Franklins? Where is Sam Adams? Where is John Adams?  (John Adams Quotes) I want to collect more records from terrorists, but less records from innocent Americans. The Fourth Amendment was what we fought the Revolution over! John Adams said it was the spark that led to our war for independence, and I’m proud of standing for the Bill of Rights, and I will continue to stand for the Bill of Rights  (John Adams Quotes) John Adams was a farmer, Abraham Lincoln a small town lawyer. Plato and Socrates were teachers. Jesus was a carpenter. To equate wisdom and judgement with occupation is at best insulting  (John Adams Quotes) The dignity and stability of government in all its branches, the morals of the people, and every blessing of society depend so much upon an upright and skillful administration of justice, that the judicial power ought to be distinct from both the legislative and executive, and independent upon both, that so it may be a check upon both, as both should be checks upon that.  (John Adams Quotes) I have examined all religions, and the result is that the Bible is the best book in the world  (John Adams Quotes) We think ourselves possessed, or, at least, we boast that we are so, of liberty of conscience on all subjects, and of the right of free inquiry and private judgment in all cases, and yet how far are we from these exalted privileges in fact!  (John Adams Quotes) As the safety and prosperity of nations ultimately and essentially depend on the protection and the blessing of Almighty God, and the national acknowledgment of this truth is not only an indispensable duty which the people owe to Him.  (John Adams Quotes) The real fabric of American society is not all those flags you see on people’s cars...it’s in the Bill of Rights and in our constitutional form of government.  (John Adams Quotes) 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.  (John Adams Quotes) Had I been chosen President again, I am certain I could not have lived another year  (John Adams Quotes) The only way to form an army to be confided in, was a systematic discipline, by which means all men may be made heroes.  (John Adams Quotes) The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity.
