Abigail Adams: [after reviewing John’s summary for the defense] John, there’s not a person in Boston who doubts your education, your command of language…
John Adams: Oh, dear. You are charming me, Abigail. You never charm me unless what you’re about to say is cutting.
Abigail Adams: John, vanity.
John Adams: Vain?
Abigail Adams: You have overburdened your argument with ostentatious erudition. You do not need to quote great men to show you are one.
In the 2008 HBO Series John Adams based on the book, John Adams by David McCullough. 2001 - “There, I guess King George will be able to read that.” John Hancock (1737-1793) Revolutionary from Massachusetts on signing the Declaration of Independence.

- “There is a sumptuous variety about the New England weather that compels the stranger’s admiration — and regret. The weather is always doing something there; always attending strictly to business; always getting up new designs and trying them on the people to see how they will go….Yes, one of the brightest gems in the New England weather is the dazzling uncertainty of it.” Mark Twain (Samuel L. Clemens) 1835-1910. Speech, “The Weather” 1876.
- “They [the makers of the Constitution] conferred, as against the Government, the right to be let alone — the most comprehensive of rights and the right most valued by civilized men.” Louis D. Brandeis (1856-1941) Olmsted v. United States 1928. Brandeis, “The People’s Attorney” practiced law in Boston, and was a U.S. Supreme Court Justice.
