Firstly, my signature
Secondly (all from 1776)-
Adams: I have come to the conclusion that one useless man is called a disgrace, that two are called a law firm, and that three or more become a Congress!
Adams: Well, it doesn't matter. I'll not appear in the history books anyway. Only you. Franklin did this and Franklin did that and Franklin did some other damn thing. Franklin smote the ground and out sprang George Washington, fully grown and on his horse. Franklin then electrified him with his miraculous lightning rod, and the three of them - Franklin, Washington, and the horse - conducted the entire revolution all by themselves.
Franklin: I like it.
Franklin: Be careful, Mr. Dickinson. Those who would give up their liberty for a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Adams (upon finding out that Jefferson has not yet started the Declaration): Good God! A whole week! The entire earth was created in a week!
Jefferson: Someday, you must tell me how you did it.
Adams: Disgusting. Look at him, Franklin. Virginia's most famous lover!
Jefferson (hasn't seen his wife in 6 months): Virginia abstains.
Franklin: "Treason is a cause invented by winners as an excuse for hanging the losers."
Adams: I have more to do than stand here listening to you quote yourself.
Franklin: No, that was a new one!
Abigail: Oh, John. Can you really know so little about yourself? And can you think so little of me that you'd believe I'd marry the man you've described? Have you forgotten what you used to say to me? I haven't. "Commitment, Abby. Commitment. There are only two creatures of value on the face of this earth - those with a commitment and those who require the commitment of others." Do you remember, John?
Adams: I remember.
