Text Quotes
The life-changing encounters that John Quincy Adams made as an adolescent on his own in Stockholm began with a friendship he struck up at a bookstore.  (John Adams Quotes) Inequalities of mind and body are so established by God Almighty, in his constitution of human nature, that no art or policy can ever plane them down to a level  (John Adams Quotes) Disease, a simple famine, plagues of locusts everywhere, or a cataclysmic earthquake, I’d accept with some despair, but no, you sent us Congress! Good God, Sir, was that fair?  (John Adams Quotes) The rights of Englishmen are derived from God, not from king or Parliament, and would be secured by the study of history, law, and tradition.  (John Adams Quotes) I am well pleased with what I hear of you: The principal Satisfaction I can expect in Life, in future will be in your good Behavior and that of my other Children. My Hopes from all of you are very agreable. God grant, I may not be disappointed.  (John Adams Quotes) The numbers of men in all ages have preferred ease, slumber, and good cheer to liberty, when they have been in competition.  (John Adams Quotes) No good government but what is republican... the very definition of a republic is ‘an empire of laws, and not of men.’  (John Adams Quotes) A constitution founded on these principles introduces knowledge among the people, and inspires them with a conscious dignity becoming freemen; a general emulation takes place, which causes good humor, sociability, good manners, and good morals to be general. That elevation of sentiment inspired by such a government, makes the common people brave and enterprising. That ambition which is inspired by it makes them sober, industrious, and frugal.  (John Adams Quotes) 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 Quotes) Elections to office, which are the great objects of ambition, I look at with terror!  (John Adams Quotes) If not for John Adams leading a revolution against Great Britain...This would be the BAFTAs.  (John Adams Quotes) By my physical constitution I am but an ordinary man ... Yet some great events, some cutting expressions, some mean hypocracies, have at times thrown this assemblage of sloth, sleep, and littleness into rage like a lion.  (John Adams Quotes) Neither my father or mother, grandfather or grandmother, great grandfather or great grandmother, nor any other relation that I know of, or care a farthing for, has been in England these one hundred and fifty years; so that you see I have not one drop of blood in my veins but what is American.  (John Adams Quotes) There is nothing I dread so much as the 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) [J]udges, therefore, should be always men of learning and experience in the laws, of exemplary morals, great patience, calmness, coolness, and attention. Their minds should not be distracted with jarring interests; they should not be dependent upon any man, or body of men.  (John Adams Quotes) Power always sincerely, conscientiously, de très bon foi, believes itself right. Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak.  (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) A government of laws, and not of men  (John Adams Quotes) I must not write a word to you about politics, because you are a woman  (John Adams Quotes) In politics the middle way is none at all  (John Adams Quotes) The essence of a free government consists in an effectual control of rivalries  (John Adams Quotes) The happiness of society is the end of government  (John Adams Quotes) When annual elections end, there slavery begins  (John Adams Quotes) Let them revere nothing but religion, morality and liberty  (John Adams Quotes) You bid me burn your letters. But I must forget you first  (John Adams Quotes) Thanks to God that he gave me stubbornness when I know I am right  (John Adams Quotes) Our obligations to our country never cease but with our lives  (John Adams Quotes) You and I ought not to die before we have explained ourselves to each other  (John Adams Quotes) Can a free government possibly exist with the Roman Catholic religion?  (John Adams Quotes) Virtue is not always amiable  (John Adams Quotes)
