More quotes by John Quincy Adams

A stranger would think that the people of the United States had no other occupation than electioneering.
John Quincy Adams
But America is a great, unwieldy Body. Its Progress must be slow... Like a Coach and six - the swiftest Horses must be slackened and the slowest quickened, that all may keep an even Pace.
John Quincy Adams
This hand, to tyrants ever sworn the foe, For Freedom only deals the deadly blow Then sheathes in calm repose the vengeful blade, For gentle peace in Freedom's hallowed shade.
John Quincy Adams
I have for many years made it a practice to read through the Bible once every year.
John Quincy Adams
