Don't expect this thread to get much action ( maybe give me a pity post if you want) but here is a site with 3 pages of John Adams quotes.
I think he and many others of that era were incredibly smart people. I thinks Adams was perhaps the most. His quotes through his life really make sense.

I like this one the best I think:
“It is more important that innocence be protected than it is that guilt be punished, for guilt and crimes are so frequent in this world that they cannot all be punished. But if innocence itself is brought to the bar and condemned, perhaps to die, then the citizen will say, "whether I do good or whether I do evil is immaterial, for innocence itself is no protection," and if such an idea as that were to take hold in the mind of the citizen that would be the end of security whatsoever.”
