“posterity who are to reap the blessings will scarcely be able to conceive the hardships and sufferings of their ancestors.”
― Abigail Adams

“Remember the Ladies.”
― Abigail Adams, My Dearest Friend: Letters of Abigail and John Adams

“To be good, and do good, is the whole duty of man comprised in a few words.”
― Abigail Adams

“I long to hear that you have declared an independency. And, by the way, in the new code of laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make, I desire you would remember the ladies and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the husbands. Remember, all men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation.”
