In the new code of laws, which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make, I desire you would remember the ladies and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the husbands. Remember, all men would be tyrants if they could.

  • -- Abigail Adams 阿比盖尔·亚当斯

在新的法典中,我想这是你必须制定的,我希望你记住女士们,对她们比你的祖先更慷慨,更仁慈。不可将这无限的权柄交在丈夫手里。记住,如果可能的话,所有的人都会成为暴君。
