I Begin To Think, That A Calm

When He Is Wounded, I Bleed. {page 262 Of John Adams}

The Habits Of A Vigorous Mind Are Born In Contending With Difficulties.

Great Learning And Superior Abilities...will Be Of Little Value And Small Estimation Unless Virtue, Honor, Truth, And Integrity Are Added To Them.

I Desire You Would Remember The Ladies, And Be More Generous And Favourable To Them Than Your Ancestors. Do Not Put Such Unlimited Power Into The Hands Of The Husbands. Remember All Men Would Be Tyrants If They Could... That Your Sex Are Naturally Tyrannical Is A Truth So Thoroughly Established As To Admit Of No Dispute, But Such Of You As Wish To Be Happy Willingly Give Up The Harsh Title Of Master For The More Tender And Endearing One Of Friend.

A People Fired ... With Love Of Their Country And Of Liberty, A Zeal For The Public Good, And A Noble Emulation Of Glory, Will Not Be Disheartened Or Dispirited By A Succession Of Unfortunate Events. But Like Them, May We Learn By Defeat The Power Of Becoming Invincible.
