More quotes by Abigail Adams
The Character which a youth acquires in the early part of his Life is of great importance towards his future prosperity-one false step may prove irretrievable to his future usefulness.
Abigail Adams
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.
Abigail Adams
A patriot without religion in my estimation is as great a paradox as an honest Man without the fear of God. Is it possible that he whom no moral obligations bind, can have any real Good Will towards Men?
Abigail Adams

Abigail Adams
To be good, and do good, is the whole duty of man comprised in a few words.
Abigail Adams
Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of husbands. Remember all men would be tyrants if they could.
Abigail Adams
Well, knowledge is a fine thing, and mother Eve thought so but she smarted so severely for hers, that most of her daughters have been afraid of it since.
Abigail Adams
I acknowledge myself a unitarian - Believing that the Father alone, is the supreme God, and that Jesus Christ derived his Being, and all his powers and honors from the Father. ... There is not any reasoning which can convince me, contrary to my senses, that three is one, and one three.
Abigail Adams
Wisdom and penetration are the fruit of experience, not the lessons of retirement and leisure. Great necessities call out great virtues.
Abigail Adams
Arbitrary power is like most other things which are very hard, very liable to be broken.
Abigail Adams
My Dear Son... remember that you are accountable to your Maker for all your words and actions.
Abigail Adams
O, I have read his Heart in his wicked eyes many a time. The very devil is in them.
Abigail Adams
posterity who are to reap the blessings will scarcely be able to conceive the hardships and sufferings of their ancestors.
