John Quincy Adams Quotes:
Ocupation: 6th U.S. President
Life: July 11, 1767 - February 28, 1848
Birthday: July 11
Death: February 28
Is it not that in the chain of human events, the birthday of a nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior? That it forms a leading event in the progress of the Gospel dispensation? Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer’s mission upon earth? That it laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity?
