John Adams

John Adams was an American statesman, attorney, diplomat, writer, and Founding Father who served as the second president of the United States from 1797 to 1801. Before his presidency, he was a leader of the American Revolution that achieved independence from Great Britain.

John Adams said, “Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

Morality and virtue are the foundation of our republic and necessary for a society to be free.

"preserve your own honor; keep a clear Conscience and clean hands: but examine every Man and every Thing. You will Soon be respected in this Course, even if you stand alone." -- John Adams, letter to Charles Adams, January 2, 1795
