John Quincy Adams Quote

Meekness: Uncommon patience in planning a revenge that is worth while

Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman, before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air.

I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.

Beware the fury of a patient man!

All things excellent are as difficult as they are rare.

Never tell a secret to a bride or a groom; wait until they have been married longer
