A quotation from John Adams

We must come to the Principles of Jesus. But, when will all Men and all Nations do as they would be done by? Forgive all Injuries and love their Enemies as themselves? I leave those profound Phylosophers whose Sagacity perceives the Perfectibility of Humane Nature, and those illuminated Theologians who expect the Apocalyptic Reign, to enjoy their transporting hopes; provided always that they will not engage us in Crusades and French Revolutions, nor burn us for doubting.

John Adams (1735–1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797–1801)
Letter (1816-02-02) to Thomas Jefferson

🇺🇦 #NowPlaying on BBC #Radio3's #InTune John Adams, Michael Tilson Thomas & San Francisco Symphony: 🎵 Short Ride in a Fast Machine #BBCRadio3 #JohnAdams #MichaelTilsonThomas #SanFranciscoSymphony

Großartige Aufführung des #AuroraOrchesters unter der Leitung von #NicholasCollon gestern in der #Isarphilharmonie im #GasteigHP8: Der #Bolero als durch die Zuschauerreihen ziehender #Flashmob. Rhytmisch klatschender, direkter Übergang zu "Short Ride in a Fast Machine" von #JohnAdams. Danach #Gerschwin "Rhapsody in Blue" & "I Got Rhythm" mit #HayatoSumino am Klavier. Schließlich eine mitreißende Performance von Strawinsky "Le sacre du printemps". Ein toller Abend!

A quotation from John Adams

While all other Sciences have advanced, that of Government is at a Stand; little better understood; little better practiced now than 3 or 4 thousand years ago. What is the Reason? I say Parties and Factions will not Suffer, or permit Improvements to be made. As Soon as one Man hints at an improvement his Rival opposes it. No sooner has one Party discovered or invented an Amelioration of the condition of Man or the order of Society, than the opposite Party, belies it, misconstrues it, misrepresents it, ridicules it, insults it, and persecutes it.

John Adams (1735–1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797–1801)
Letter (1813-07-09) to Thomas Jefferson
