John Adams quotes

ADAMS, John quotes

(1735-1826), 2nd President of the United States of America

Luxury

Whenever vanity and gaiety, a love of pomp and dress, furniture, equipage, buildings, great company, expensive diversions, and elegant entertainments get the better of the principles and judgments of men and women, there is no knowing where they will stop, nor into what evils, natural, moral, or political, they will lead us.

Mind

Old minds are like old horses; you must exercise them if you wish to keep them in working order.
