Quote
John Adams:
Mr. Duane well knows that reconciliation would be as agreeable to my inclinations, and as advantageous to my interests as to any man's! But, I see no prospect for it, no probability, no possibility! And I cannot abide the hypocritical heart that pretends to expect peace when in truth it does not.
James Duane:
This congress has no more right to pass such a resolution than parliament has! We must beware of overreaching!
John Adams:
When Demosthenes... When Demosthenes traveled as ambassador through Greece, to incite a confederacy against the tyrant Philip of Macedon, he did not go, mr. President...
John Hancock:
Mr. Adams, you are taking us on a journey through time! If you plan on taking us to creation itself, I should like send word to my landlady, she should not waste any eggs for my breakfast!
John Adams:
He did not go, Mr. President, to propose a non-importation or non-consumption agreement.
Edward Rutledge:
Pray forgive me for not recognizing the worthy Demosthenes. I mistook you for a Massachusetts man.
John Adams:
Do you know, the conduct of some states from the beginning of this affair has given me reason to suspect that it is their settled policy to keep to the rear of our confederacy come what may, so as not to harm their future prospects? No, there are persons in Philadelphia to whom a ship is dearer than a city, and a few barrels of flour dearer than 1000 lives. Other men's lives.
John Dickinson:
That is an outrageous slander!
