John Adams Quotes - Page 17

• The rich, the well-born, and the able, acquire an influence among the people that will soon be too much for simple honesty and plain sense, in a house of representatives. The most illustrious of them must, therefore, be separated from the mass, and placed by themselves in a senate; this is, to all honest and useful intents, an ostracism.

• If the Christian religion, as I understand it, or as you understand it, should maintain its ground, as I believe it will, yet Platonic, Pythagoric, Hindoo, and cabalistical Christianity, which is Catholic Christianity, and which has prevailed for 1500 years, has received a mortal wound, of which the monster must finally die. Yet so strong is his constitution, that he may endure for centuries before he expires.

• Veinte veces, en el curso de mis últimas lecturas, he estado a punto de exclamar: "¡Este sería el mejor de los mundos posibles, si no hubiera religión en él! Pero en esta exclamación, habría sido tan fanático como Bryant o Cleverly. Sin religión, este mundo sería algo indigno de ser mencionado en público; me refiero al infierno.
