Abigail Adams

Wonderful quote from Abigail Adams, the wife of John Adams, the second President of the United States.

These are times in which a genius would wish to live. It is not in the still calm of life, or in the repose of a pacific station, that great characters are formed. The habits of a vigorous mind are formed in contending with difficulties. Great necessities call out great virtues.
