United States Founding Fathers and Founding Americans

  1. "The Bible is a book worth more than all the other books that were ever printed." - United States Founding Father, Patrick Henry

  2. "For nearly half a century, I have anxiously and critically studied the Bible and I still scarcely ever take it up that I do not find something new. Were you to ask me to recommend the most valuable book in the world, I should fix on the Bible as the most instructive both to the wise and the ignorant. Were you to ask me for one book affording the most rational and pleasing entertainment to the enquiring mind, I would still stay the Bible. And should you ask again about the best philosophy, or the most interesting history, I would still urge you to look into your Bible. I would make it, in short, the alpha and omega of knowledge." - United States Founding Father, Elias Boudinot

  3. "The Bible is the best of all books, for it is the word of God and teaches us the way to be happy in this world and in the next. Continue therefore to read it and to regulate your life by its precepts." - United States Founding Father, John Jay

  4. "Suppose a nation in some distant region should take the Bible for their only law book and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited ... What a Utopia! ¨C What a paradise would this region be!" - United States Founding Father, John Adams

  5. "The Bible is the chief moral cause of all that is good and the best corrector of all that is evil in human society. ... All of the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from them despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible." - United States Founding Father, Noah Webster

  6. "The first and almost the only book deserving of universal attention is the Bible. I have myself for many years made it a practice to read the Bible once every year. I have always endeavored to read it with the same spirit and with the same temper of mind which I now recommend to you. That is, with the intention and desire that it may contribute to my advance in wisdom and virtue." - United States Founding Father, John Quincy Adams

  7. "To the free and universal reading of the Bible ... men [are] much indebted for right views of civil liberty. The Bible is ... a book which teaches man his own individual responsibility, his own dignity, and his equality with his fellow man." - United States Founding Father, Daniel Webster

Notes on the Law (Reason and Experience)

  • "The Bible is the best of books and I wish it were in the hands of everyone. It is indispensable to the safety and permanence of our institutions. ... Especially should the Bible be placed in the hands of the young. It is the best school book in the world. ... I would that all of our people were brought up under the influence of that Holy Book." President of the United States, Zachary Taylor

  • "To every man who faces life with real desire to do his part in everything, I appeal for a study of the Bible." President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt

  • "A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education." President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt

  • "The study of the Bible is a post-graduate course in the richest library of human experience." President of the United States, Herbert Hoover

  • "I suggest a nationwide reading of the Holy Scriptures during the period from Thanksgiving Day to Christmas. ... [G]o to ... the Scriptures for a renewed and strengthening contact with those eternal truths and majestic principles which have inspired such measure of true greatness as this nation has achieved." President of the United States, Franklin Roosevelt, 1944

  • "The fundamental basis of this nation's law was given to Moses on the Mount. The fundamental basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teaching we get from Exodus and St. Matthew, from Isaiah and St. Paul. I don't think we emphasize that enough these days. If we don't have the proper fundamental moral background, we will finally end up with a totalitarian government which does not believe in the right for anybody except the state." President of the United States, Harry S. Truman

  • "Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all the problems men face." President of the United States, Ronald Reagan
