"Hold fast to the Bible as the sheet-anchor of your liberties; write its precepts in your hearts and practice them in you lives. To the influence of this book we are indepted for all the progress made in true civilization, and to this we must look as our guide in the future. Rightiousness exalteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to any people."
~Ulysses S. Grant

"Every thinking man, when he thinks, realizes that the teachings of the Bible are so interwoven with our whole civic and social life that it would be literally impossible for us to figure what life would be if those teachings were removed. We would lose almost all the standards by which we now judge both public and private morals; all the standards towards which we, with more or less resolution, strive to raise ourselves."
~Theodore Roosevelt


"The Bible is worth all the other books which have ever really been printed."
~Patrick Henry

"So great is my veneration of the Bible that the earlier my children begin to read it, the more confident will be my hope that they will prove useful citizens of their country and respectable members of society."
~John Adams
