The Words of Our Founding Fathers, John Adams



"The foundation of national morality must be laid in private families. ... Public virtue cannot exist in a nation without private, and public virtue is the only foundation of republics."
--John Adams

  1. I love this quote! I used it at our school board meeting last month, when discussing the upcoming president's speech to schools. It is not the job of the schools, the government or anyone else to teach my children morality...it is mine alone.

    Love you friend!
