Quotations

Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.

Argument in Defense of the British Soldiers in the Boston Massacre Trials (4 December 1770)

There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty.

Notes for an oration at Braintree (Spring 1772)

A government of laws, and not of men.

The "Novanglus" Papers, Boston Gazette (1774- 1775), No. 7; this was incorporated into the Massachusetts Constitution in 1780 File:Abigail Adams.jpg|144px|thumb|right|You bid me burn your letters. But I must forget you first.

Metaphysicians and politicians may dispute forever, but they will never find any other moral principle or foundation of rule or obedience, than the consent of governors and governed.

The "Novanglus" papers, Boston Gazette (1774 - 1775), No. 7

A Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.

Letter to Abigail Adams (17 July 1775)

I agree with you that in politics the middle way is none at all.
