My wife and I just finished watching the mini-series on the life of John Adams. I'm ashamed to admit that I was only familiar with about two-thirds of the things depicted. But one of the most touching parts was his final quote, just at the end of the movie.
“Posterity, you will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that ever I took half the pains to preserve it.”
~ John Adams
Psalm 22:27-28: “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the Lord's, and he ruleth among the nations.”
