Patrick Henry, American Patriot
"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too
often that this great nation was founded not by religionists,
but by Christians; not on religions, but on the gospel
of Jesus Christ. For that reason alone, people of
other faiths have been afforded freedom of worship here."
- Patrick Henry
"This is all the inheritance I can give my dear
family. The religion of Christ can
give them one which will make them rich indeed."
- Patrick Henry (Last Will and Testament)
Frederick Douglass, Abolitionist, Rochesterian
"One and God make a majority."
- Frederick Douglass
"I love the religion of Christianity
- which cometh from above - which is a pure,
peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of good
fruits, and without hypocrisy."
- Frederick Douglass
"Right is of no sex, Truth is of no color, God is the Father of us all, and we are all Brethren."
"The man who is right is a majority.
We, who have God and conscience on
our side, have a majority against the universe."
- Frederick Douglass
Theodore Roosevelt, 26th U.S. President
"In the first place we should insist that
if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes
an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall
be treated on an exact equality with everyone else,
for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such
man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But
this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact
an American, and nothing but an American...There
can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says
he is an American, but something else also, isn't an
American at all. We have room for but one flag, the
American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which
symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization,
just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation
to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language
here, and that is the English language...and we have
room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty
to the American people."
- Theodore Roosevelt
"A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth
more than a college education."
- Theodore Roosevelt
"It is necessary for the welfare of the nation
that men's lives be based on the principles of the
Bible. No man, educated or uneducated, can afford
to be ignorant of the Bible."
- Theodore Roosevelt
Ben Franklin, Founding Father, American Inventor
"I therefore beg leave to move that henceforth
prayers imploring the assistance of Heaven, and
its blessing on our deliberations, be held in this Assembly
every morning..."
- Ben Franklin
"A Bible and a newspaper
in every house, a good school in every
district; all studied and appreciated as they merit;
are the principal support of virtue, morality, and civil
liberty."
- Ben Franklin
George Washington Carver, Botanist, Inventor
'The secret of my success? It is simple. It is
found in the Bible', "In all thy ways acknowledge
Him and He shall direct thy paths."
- George Washington Carver, 1939

forever."

eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over
the mind of man."

"I shall earnestly and persistently continue to urge
all women to the practical recognition of the old Revolutionary
maxim. Resistance to tyranny is obedience to
God."
- Susan B. Anthony
Alexander Hamilton, Founding Father
"I have carefully examined the evidences of
the Christian religion, and if I was
sitting as a juror upon its authenticity I would unhesitatingly
give my verdict in its favor. I can
prove its truth as clearly as any proposition ever submitted
to the mind of man."
- Alexander Hamilton
"For my own part, I sincerely esteem it [the
Constitution] a system which without the finger
of God, never could have been suggested and
agreed upon by such a diversity of interests."
- Alexander Hamilton (1787 after the Constitutional
Convention)

ordained."

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."
- Abraham Lincoln, 1863
"Intelligence, patriotism, Christianity, and
a firm reliance on Him, who has never yet forsaken this
favored land, are still competent to adjust, in the
best way, all our present difficulty."
– Abraham Lincoln
Calvin Coolidge, 30th U.S. President

teachings would cease to be practically universal in
our country."
- Calvin Coolidge, 1923

that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a
Nation gone under."
- Ronald Reagan

upon which civilization is founded: religion, education
and, above all, family."
- Ronald Reagan

teachings of Christ results in the purest patriotism,
in the most scrupulous fidelity to public trust, and
in the best type of citizenship."
- Grover Cleveland

"The rights of man come not from the generosity
of the state but from the hand of God."
- John F. Kennedy
John Quincy Adams, 6th U.S. President
"It is no slight testimonial, both to the merit
and worth of Christianity, that in all ages since its
promulgation the great mass of those who have risen
to eminence by their profound wisdom and integrity have
recognized and reverenced Jesus of Nazareth as the
Son of the living God."
- John Quincy Adams

world by the death of His Son upon the Cross. Nothing
but His blood will wash away my sins."

and public happiness."
