Dear Mr. Adams,

“All confidence must be…reposed only on that God who rules in the Armies of Heaven, and without whose blessing the best human counsels are but foolishness and all created power vanity.” J. Hancock

Dear Mr. Hancock,

“I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.” G. Washington

Dear Mr. Washington,

“A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy.” S. Adams

Dear Mr. Adams,

“Whenever a man has cast a longing eye on offices, a rottenness begins in his conduct.” T. Jefferson
