The last few nights I rented the HBO John Adams miniseries that was on HBO back in 2008. For those of you who haven't seen it, it brings back how much we owe our Nation's Founding Fathers, and how much fortitude and courage they had in the face of incredible odds to forge our nation. Not much of a movie buff, but this held my attention.
All excellent quotes, but John Quincy Adams was,his son, the Sixth President of the United States, an accomplished statesman in his own right, who at 14 was the Secretary to the first American Diplomat to present his credentials at the Russian Court in St. Petersburg.
His father was the second President of the United States, and who I was talking about.both fathers of our country.
“When legislature is corrupted, the people are undone.”
– John Adams
Seems this one gets credited to both;
“Posterity! You will never know how much it cost the present Generation to preserve your Freedom! I hope you will make good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven, that I ever took half the Pains to preserve it.”
– John Adams
“Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.”
– John Adams, letter to Abigail Adams, Jul. 17, 1775
