Quotes from John Adams

 

" The general principles upon which the Fathers achieved independence were the general principals of Christianity... I will avow that I believed and now believe that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God."


• "[July 4th] ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty."


-John Adams in a letter written to Abigail on the day the Declaration was approved by Congress
