Our obligations to our country never cease but with our lives.

Posterity! You will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom! I hope you will make a good use of it.

John Adams

The consequences arising from the continual accumulation of public debts in other countries ought to admonish us to be careful to prevent their growth in our own.

John Adams

There is no greater guilt than the unneccessary war.

John Adams

Those who trade liberty for security have neither.

John Adams

To be good, and to do good, is all we have to do.

John Adams

To believe all men honest is folly. To believe none is something worse.

John Adams

Virtue is not always amiable.
