"No man will contend that a nation can be free that is not governed by fixed laws. All other government than that of permanent known laws is government of mere will and pleasure." - John Adams
In the book "The 5000 Year Leap" this quote by the famous John Adams is under the "22nd Principle, A Free People Should be Goverend by Law and Not by the Whims of Men." (page 243).
If you have not watched the HBO mini series of John Adams, yet, I highly recommend it! I love it, but cry thru most of it! Every time I read a quote by John Adams now, it is the voice of Paul Giamatti! Lol!
I need to watch that ..if I only had HBO!

I have been reading snippets recently of the Great John Adams. I am going to have to watch this sometime soon. Thanks for the post:)
ReplyDeleteI've got a (very thick) two book set biography of John Adams that I picked up at a recent book sale. I think that may have to be one of the next books on my reading list. Maybe I'll have to cheat in the interim and get Netflix so we have access to all the documentaries. One of my friends has it and loves it.
