"We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
- John Adams: Signer of the Declaration of Independence; One of the Two Signers of the Bill of Rights; Second President of the United States
"And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever."
- Thomas Jefferson: Signer and the Principal Author of the Declaration of Independence; Third President of the United States
"An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us!...Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power...Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us...is life so dear, or peace so sweet as to b purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
- Patrick Henry: Patriot and Statesman
"Human law must rest its authority ultimately upon the authority of that law which is Divine... Far from being rivals or enemies, religion and law are twin sisters, friends, and mutual assistants. Indeed, these two sciences run into each other."
- James Wilson: Signer of both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution; Original Justice on the United States Supreme Court
"One of the beautiful boasts of our municipal jurisprudence is that Christianity is a part of the Common Law... There never has been a period in which the Common Law did not recognize Christianity as lying at its foundations...I verily believe Christianity necessary to the support of civil society."
- Joseph Story: United States Supreme Court Justice; "Father of American Jurisprudence," Placed on the Court by President James Madison
"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord"
- Psalm 33:12a
