Quotable Quotes...

I was cleaning up our office and came across a letter that Madeline wrote to send to the White House. One of the books she has read this summer was about the building and history of the White House. It had a quote by John Adams that she thought was neat. She wrote it down and wanted to mail it to those living there now. :>)
It says: "I Pray Heaven to Bestow the Best Blessings on this house and on all that shall hereafter inhabit it. Let none but honest and wise men ever rule under this roof."
We did some research on quotes by John Adams and came across this one too. "Power always thinks.. that it is doing God's service when it is violating all his laws."
I love reading quotes from our forefathers! They seem to have had so much more wisdom than the majority of our leaders today.
