Quote from John Adams,


"Be not intimidated...
nor suffer yourselves to be wheedled out of your liberties
by any pretense of politeness, delicacy, or decency.
These, as they are often used, are but three different names
for hypocrisy, chicanery and cowardice."

John Adams (more quotes by John Adams or books by/about John Adams)
