Liberty Without Virtue Would Be No Blessing To Us.

The Only Means Of Establishing And Perpetuating Our Republican Forms Of Government Is The Universal Education Of Our Youth In The Principles Of Christianity By Means Of The Bible.

[w]here There Is No Law, There Is No Liberty; And Nothing Deserves The Name Of Law But That Which Is Certain And Universal In Its Operation Upon All The Members Of The Community.

Upon My Return From The Army To Baltimore In The Winter Of 1777, I Sat Next To John Adams In Congress, And Upon My Whispering To Him And Asking Him If He Thought We Should Succeed In Our Struggle With Great Britain, He Answered Me, "yes-if We Fear God And Repent Of Our Sins."

The Great Enemy Of The Salvation Of Man, In My Opinion, Never Invented A More Effective Means Of Limiting Christianity From The World Than By Persuading Mankind That It Was Improper To Read The Bible At Schools.
