Black t-shirt, back: “I must study Politicks and War…” John Adams, between two warm rules.

“I must study Politicks and War that my sons may have liberty to study Mathematicks and Philosophy.”John Adams · Quote T-Shirt

You took the steady job so your kids could take the risky ones. Nobody threw you a party for it.

The spelling was correct in 1780, and we kept it.

It's printed on the back, for whoever comes after you. Quoteiac logo left chest, tone on tone print.
