"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Happy Birthday, Adams.


There are two educations. One should teach us how to make a living and the other how to live. Let us tenderly and kindly cherish, therefore, the means of knowledge. Let us dare to read, think, speak, and write.
- John Adams


David McCullough's biography of Adams is superb. Read the quote above, then do yourself a favor.

Thanks, Mom.
