Quotes From Our Founding Fathers

"It is impossible to govern rightly without God and the Bible."

George Washington

"The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: It connected, in one indissoluble bond, the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity"

John Quincy Adams 

"In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed.  No truth is more evident to my mind that the Christian religion must be the basis of and government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people." 

Noah Webster

Thomas Jefferson

The Harper Family
