To believe that everyone is honest is folly, but to believe that no one is honest is worse.
John Quincy AdamsThe influence of each human being on others in this life is a kind of immortality.
John Quincy AdamsWho but shall learn that freedom is the prize Man still is bound to rescue or maintain; That nature's God commands the slave to rise, And on the oppressor's head to break the chain. Roll, years of promise, rapidly roll round, Till not a slave shall on this earth by found.
