We’re continuing the theme of “the importance of motherhood” for the month of November. Not being as informed and educated as the illustrious Hercules Mulligan of The Foundation Forum, I have had to work more on this topic than anything in a long time! But [...]
Uh, Washington IRVING, that is.
OK OK so he’s not a “founder.” Wah! This is desperation here. I couldn’t find any quote for today from a “real founder.” And… Washington Irving WAS around in the late 1700s/early 1800s! And a lot of the stuff he wrote did become part of our “history” (like George Washington and [...]

With the onset of a new month, there’s a new theme for the FFQF! This month, it’s “the importance of mother.” I’m not very knowledgeable of what the Founding Fathers said about mothers, so this may prove to be a trying month for me! But [...]

For this the final day of “virtue” as the topic for this month’s FFQF, I couldn’t choose just one. I decided to post a whole bunch of quotes! I don’t know about you, but I am savoring every word from these wise men.

Mercy Otis Warren was the daughter of James Otis (a contemporary of Sam Adams) and the wife of [...]

One reason why I love the founding area of my country is because during this time, the country was filled with wise, honest, perceptive, and influential men. When I read what men like Washington, Adams, Hamilton, Rush, and Jay had to say, I am blown [...]

The theme for this month is Virtue. Virtue, as stated by the founding fathers themselves, was the key element to sustaining liberty. If a man cannot control himself as an individual, he cannot participate in a disciplined society based on liberty. Virtue is not considered [...]
Oh my goodness, today is Friday and I completely forgot about FFQF! I am so bad. I got a new kitten yesterday, and this week has been a flurry of appointments, that I forgot about today! Better late than never, I guess!

It’s Friday! So it’s Favorite Founder’s Quote Friday! It seems I’ve been posting a lot of Benjamin Franklin this month… not really intentional; I have just found so many good things he had to say for our topic this month (liberty).
I think this quote is [...]
“America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.”
John Quincy Adams said that. What a lesson to be remembered!
I’ve always admired John Quincy Adams. I just love the Adamses– John and Abigail and [...]
