A father’s zeal

Your father’s zeal for books will be one of the last desires which will quit him.” Abigail observed to John Quincy in the spring of 1816, as Adams eagerly embarked on a sixteen volume of French history.

Keep it zeal.

McCullough, David. John Adams. New York, Simon & Schuster, 2001. pg 620
