PhuturePriest Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 [b] Many are worried about the outcome of this election, so here is a quote from John Adams.[/b] [b] It may be the will of Heaven that America shall suffer calamities still more wasting and distressing yet more dreadful. If this is to be the case, it will have this good effect, at least: it will inspire us will many virtues, which we have not, and correct many errors, follies, and vices, which threaten to disturb, dishonor, and destroy us. The furnace of affliction produces refinement, in states as well as individuals. And the new governments we are assuming, in every part, will require a purification from our vices and an augmentation of our virtues or they will be no blessings. The people will have unbounded power. And the people are extremely addicted to corruption and venality, as well as the great. I am not without apprehensions from this quarter, but I must submit all my hopes and fears to an overruling Providence, in which, unfashionable as the faith may be, I firmly believe. -John Adams[/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhuturePriest Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 I had a dream that everyone was ridiculing me on this thread because it apparently wasn't a real John Adams quote. I was genuinely surprised when it turned out to be just a dream and not what happened last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
