John Quincy Adams
Not stones, nor wood, nor the art of artisans make a state but where men are who know how to take care of themselves, these are cities and walls.
John Quincy Adams
We know the redemption must come. The time and the manner of its coming we know not: It may come in peace, or it may come in blood but whether in peace or in blood, LET IT COME.
