Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

As the safety and prosperity of nations ultimately and essentially depend on the protection and the blessing of Almighty God, and the national acknowledgment of this truth is not only an indispensable duty which the people owe to Him.

The real fabric of American society is not all those flags you see on people's cars...it's in the Bill of Rights and in our constitutional form of government.

What havoc, said I to myself, would these manners make in America! Our governors, our judges, our senators or representatives, and even our ministers, would be appointed by harlots, for money; and their judgments, decrees, and decisions, be sold to repay themselves, or, perhaps, to procure the smiles of profligate females.

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

We must not then depend alone upon the love of liberty in the soul of man for its preservation.

Thanks be to God, that he gave me Stubborness, when I know I am right.
