God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it.

Daniel Webster (Founding Father/ “Defender of the Constitution”)

If religious books are not widely circulated among the masses in this country, I do not know what is going to become of us as a nation. If truth be not diffused, then error will be. If God and His Word are not known and received, the devil and his works will gain the ascendency. If the evangelical volume does not reach every hamlet, the pages of a corrupt and licentious literature will. If the power of the gospel is not felt throughout the length and breadth of this land, anarchy and misrule, degradation and misery, corruption and darkness will reign without mitigation or end.

Daniel Webster (Founding Father/ “Defender of the Constitution”)

This is the Book. I have read the Bible through many times, and now make it a practice to read it through once every year. It is a book of all others for lawyers, as well as divines; and I pity the man who cannot find in it a rich supply of thought and of rules for conduct. It fits man for life–it prepares him for death.

Daniel Webster (Founding Father/ “Defender of the Constitution”)

The most important thought that ever occupied my mind is that of my individual responsibility to God.

Daniel Webster (Founding Father/ “Defender of the Constitution”)

If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering and to prosper; but if we and our posterity neglect its instructions and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity.

Daniel Webster (Founding Father/ “Defender of the Constitution”)

Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster and what has happened once in 6,000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world.

Daniel Webster (Founding Father/ “Defender of the Constitution”)

No one ever became, or can become truly eloquent without being a reader of the Bible, and an admirer of the purity and sublimity of its language.

Fisher Ames (Congressman/Founding Father, 1758 – 1808)

Why should not the Bible regain the place it once held as a school book? Its morals are pure, its examples captivating and noble. The reverence for the Sacred Book that is thus early impressed lasts long; and probably if not impressed in infancy, never takes firm hold of the mind.

Fisher Ames (Congressman/Founding Father, 1758 – 1808)

No man can be a sound lawyer in this land who is not well read in the ethics of Moses and the virtues of Jesus.

Fisher Ames (Congressman/Founding Father, 1758 – 1808)

Should not the Bible regain the place it once held as a schoolbook? Its morals are pure, its examples are captivating and noble….In no Book is there so good English, so pure and so elegant, and by teaching all the same they will speak alike, and the Bible will justly remain the standard of language as well as of faith.
