Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, if, indeed, our Founding Fathers were right, that all men are created, then it follows that all men of reason much surely sense their duty to reverently acknowledge their Creator. In the modern world of abundance in which we live, I am afraid that we have become arrogant and often educated beyond our own common sense to the extent that we have forgotten sometimes that self-evident truth. But Mr. Speaker, how fortunate we are that those who went before us did not forget that foundational truth and they held it in their hearts. President George Washington, on the very same day that Congress finished drafting the first amendment, declared, ``It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to Obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and to humbly implore His protection and favor.'' William Penn, one of our great champions of liberty and founder of what would become Pennsylvania said, ``Those people who will not be governed by God will be ruled by tyrants.'' And President Andrew Jackson said, ``The Bible is the bedrock on which our Republic rests.'' Mr. Speaker, today the secular left often seeks to destroy any vestige of this Nation's religious heritage in history.”
