Quote by John Adams

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

"I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy."

"The law, in all vicissitudes of government, fluctuations of the passions, or flights of enthusiasm, will always preserve its character of virtue."

"The great and real business of life is to know ourselves."

"Fear drives civilization. Without it, there is only chaos."

"Order through chaos. That's the only real answer."

"Politics and power corrupt when they're separated from purpose."

"The system isn't broken—it was built this way. We have to rebuild it."
