Man Was Made For Action

“I begin to think, that a calm is not desirable in any situation in life. Every object is beautiful in motion; a ship under sail, trees gently agitated with the wind, and a fine woman dancing, are three instances in point. Man was made for action and for bustle too, I believe.”

– Abigail Adams,
letter to sister Mary Smith Cranch, 1784
