- Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
- There are two ways to conquer and enslave a country. One is by the sword. The other is by debt.
- 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.
- But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.

- Be not intimidated… nor suffer yourselves to be wheedled out of your liberties by any pretense of politeness, delicacy, or decency. These, as they are often used, are but three different names for hypocrisy, chicanery and cowardice.
John Adams, born on October 30, 1735, in Braintree, Massachusetts, was a pivotal figure in American history, serving as the nation’s second President from 1797 to 1801.
A Harvard-educated lawyer, Adams was an early advocate for independence, championing the cause through eloquent writings and speeches. He played a key role in the Continental Congress and was instrumental in drafting the Declaration of Independence.
Adams later served as the first U.S. Vice President under George Washington, a role he found limiting but dutifully fulfilled. As President, he faced challenges with foreign policy, particularly with France, leading to the quasi-war. Despite opposition, he promoted the unpopular Alien and Sedition Acts, impacting his re-election.
Adams valued education, liberty, and justice, often clashing with popular opinion to uphold these principles. His legacy is one of intellectual rigor and dedication to the emerging United States, and he passed away on July 4, 1826.
