Paul Harvey: The Founding Fathers

From Paul Harvey’s immortal THE REST OF THE STORY
Our Founders had everything to lose and nothing to gain … except one thing.

“Posterity! you will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom! I hope you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.” — John Adams, 2nd President.

“Posterity — you will never know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it.” -John Quincy Adams, son of John Adams, 6th President.
