Quote by John Quincy Adams
“Deimos och Fobos var där och den omättligt rasande Eris, hon som är syster och vän till mannadråparen Ares. Liten verkar hon först, men reser sig sedan tills hjässan stöter mot himlens valv, och likväl går hon på marken. Mitt bland dem sådde hon hat och fördelade tvedräkten lika där hon i vimlet skred fram för att öka krigarnas jämmer.”

John Quincy Adams was the sixth President of the United States from March 4, 1825 to March 4, 1829. He was also an American diplomat and served in both the Senate and House of Representatives. He was a member of the Federalist, Democratic-Republican, National Republican, and later Anti-Masonic and Whig parties.
During his term as president, however, Adams achieved little of consequence in foreign affairs. A reason for this was the opposition he faced in Congress, where his rivals prevented him from succeeding.
Among the few diplomatic achievements of his administration were treaties of reciprocity with a number of nations, including Denmark, Mexico, the Hanseatic League, the Scandinavian countries, Prussia and Austria. However, thanks to the successes of Adams' diplomacy during his previous eight years as Secretary of State, most of the foreign policy issues he would have faced had been resolved by the time he became President.
