Quotes Worth Pondering

--George Washington, 1st US President, The Writings of Washington, pp. 342-343.

"The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity. I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God."

--James Madison, 4th US President, America's Providential History, p. 93.

And may the associated distribution of the Bible proceed and prosper till the Lord shall have made 'bare His holy arm in the eyes of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God' (Isaiah 52:10)."
--Life of John Quincy Adams, p. 248.

--The Trumpet Voice of Freedom: Patrick Henry of Virginia, p. iii.
