The Bible contains more knowledge necessary to man in his present state than any other book in the world.

I have alternately been called an Aristocrat and a Democrat. I am neither. I am a Christocrat.

[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.

Liberty without virtue would be no blessing to us.

I have always considered Christianity as the strong ground of republicanism. The spirit is opposed, not only to the splendor, but even to the very forms of monarchy, and many of its precepts have for their objects republican liberty and equality as well as simplicity, integrity, and economy in government. It is only necessary for republicanism to ally itself to the Christian religion to overturn all the corrupted political and religious institutions of the world.

Controversy is only dreaded by the advocates of error.
