John Quincy Adams
According To...



"I do say in the most solemn manner, that Mr. Otis's Oration against Writs of Assistance breathed into this nation the breath of life."

"John Adams was our colossus on the floor. Not graceful, not elegant, not always fluent, in his public addresses, he yet came out with a power, both of thought and of expression, which moved us from our seats."
- Thomas Jefferson
