"Hold fast to the Bible as the sheet anchor of your liberties. Write its precepts in your hearts, and practice them in your lives. To the influence of this book are we indebted for all the progress made in true civilization, and to this we must look as our guide in the future. Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a 2 reproach to any people" -- Ulysses S. Grant
"It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible" -- George Washington
"The strength of our country is the strength of its
religious convictions. The foundations of our society and our government rest
so much on the teachings of the Bible that it would be difficult to support
them if faith in these teachings would cease to be practically universal in our
country."--Calvin Coolidge
"Menaced by collectivist trends, we must seek revival
of our strength in the spiritual foundations which are the bedrock of our
republic. Democracy is the outgrowth of the religious conviction of the
sacredness of every human life. On the religious side, its highest embodiment
is the Bible; on the political side, the Constitution."
--Herbert Hoover
"We cannot read the history of our rise and
development as a nation, without reckoning with the place the Bible has
occupied in shaping the advances of the Republic. Where we have been the truest
and most consistent in obeying its precepts, we have attained the greatest
measure of contentment and prosperity."
"I am profitably engaged in reading the Bible. Take
all of this book upon reason that you can and the balance by faith, and you
will live and die a better man."
