John Quincy Adams Quotes

"In charity to all mankind, bearing no malice or ill will to any human being and even compassionating those who hold in bondage their fellow men, not knowing what they do""Posterity, you will never know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it""All men profess honesty as long as they can""Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views beyond the comprehension of the weak""Try and fail but don't fail to try""Where annual elections end where slavery begins""There is nothing so deep and so inexpressible as the power of destiny""Posterity — you will never know how much it has cost the present generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it""Liberty, once lost, is lost forever""Idleness is sweet and its consequences are cruel""To furnish the means of acquiring knowledge is the greatest benefit that can be conferred upon mankind""Always vote for principle though you may vote alone""Duty is ours; results are God's""Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman, before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air""Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish""If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader"
