John Adams wrote to his wife Abigail that her letters âeoegive me more entertainment than all the speeches I hear. There is more good Thoughts, fine strokes and Mother Wit in them than I hear in the whole Week. An Ounce of Mother Wit is worth a Pound of Clergy.âe The Quotable Abigail Adams invites you to enjoy Abigail Adamsâe(tm)s wit and wisdom on a wide range of subjects, drawn from writings throughout her lifetime. Abigail shared her penetrating and often humorous observations with correspondents ranging from friends and neighbors to family members to heads of state, offering lively opinions on human nature, politics, culture, and family life. Selected and arranged by topic, these quotations provide an entertaining introduction to the thought and character of Americaâe(tm)s founding mother. They are accompanied by a biographical introduction, source notes, chronology, and a comprehensive index, making this book the primary resource for those meeting this remarkable woman for the first time as well as for her longtime admirers. âeoeThe Service of this Government is not a Bed of Roses, in any department of it.âe âeoeA Nation which does not respect itself, cannot expect to receive it from others.âe âeoeGentlemen are not half as particular as the Ladies are in their details.âe âeoeNo woman of sense will ever make her Husband an object of Ridicule; for in proportion as she lowers him she lessens herself.âe âeoeA woman may forgive the man she loves an indiscretion, but never a neglect.âe âeoeThere is no musick sweeter in the Ears of parents, than the well earned praises of their children.âe âeoeBetter is a little contentment than great Treasure; and trouble therewith.âe âeoeTime, which improves youth, every year furrows the brow of age.

My Dearest Friend

Letters of Abigail and John Adams

By: Abigail Adams,John Adams

“A wonderfully vivid account of the momentous era they lived through, underscoring the chaotic, often improvisatory circumstances that attended the birth of the fledgling nation and the hardships of daily life.” —Michiko Kakutani, New York Times In 1762, John Adams penned a flirtatious note to “Miss Adorable,” the 17-year-old Abigail Smith. In 1801, Abigail wrote to wish her husband John a safe journey as he headed home to Quincy after serving as president of the nation he helped create. The letters that span these nearly forty years form the most significant correspondence—and reveal one of the most intriguing and inspiring partnerships—in American history. As a pivotal player in the American Revolution and the early republic, John had a front-row seat at critical moments in the creation of the United States, from the drafting of the Declaration of Independence to negotiating peace with Great Britain to serving as the first vice president and second president under the U.S. Constitution. Separated more often than they were together during this founding era, John and Abigail shared their lives through letters that each addressed to “My Dearest Friend,” debating ideas and commenting on current events while attending to the concerns of raising their children (including a future president). Full of keen observations and articulate commentary on world events, these letters are also remarkably intimate. This new collection—including some letters never before published—invites readers to experience the founding of a nation and the partnership of two strong individuals, in their own words. This is history at its most authentic and most engaging.

Redeeming Marketplace Medicine

A Theology of Health Care

By: Abigail Rian Evans

Asserting what most Americans already suspect -- that corporate-based managed care places profits over patient care -- theologian Abigail Rian Evans points out that medical experts have reduced health care to medical treatment under arrangements with health insurance plans and HMOs. Her reasoned, practical alternative engages Christian theology, proposing a much broader concept of health care. An important contribution to a critical discussion.
