Great Leaders Speak About the Bible
"Here is a Book worth
more than all the other books which were ever printed."
Patrick Henry
"That book, Sir, is
the Rock upon which our republic rests." Andrew
Jackson "The more profoundly we study this wonderful
Book, and the more closely we observe its divine precepts,
the better citizens we will become and the higher will
be our destiny as a nation." William McKinley
"The best religion
the world has ever known is the religion of the Bible.
It builds up all that is good." Rutherford B. Hayes
"There are a good many
problems before the American people today, and before
me as President, but I expect tofind the solution of
those problems just in the proportion that I am faithful
in the study of the Word of God." Woodrow Wilson
"The whole inspiration
of our civilization springs from the teachings of Christ
and the lessons of the prophets. To read the Bible for
these fundamentals is a necessity of American life."
Herbert Hoover
"I say to you, Search
the Scriptures! The Bible is the book of all others,
to be read at all ages, and in all conditions of human
life; not to be read once or twice or thrice through,
and then laid aside, but to be read in small portions
of one or two chapters every day, and never to be intermitted,
unless by some overruling necessity." John Quincy
Adams
"We cannot read the
history of our rise and development as a nation, without
reckoning the place the Bible has occupied in shaping
the advances of the Republic." Franklin D. Roosevelt
"Within the covers
of the Bible are all the answers for all the problems
men face. The Bible can touch hearts, order minds and
refresh souls." Ronald Reagan "In all my perplexities
and distresses, the Bible has never failed to give me
light and strength." Robert E. Lee
"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 a man for life —it
prepares him for death." Daniel Webster
