Today is Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011; Karen's Korner #2016
Sorry for no Karen's Korner yesterday; my computer was having its 'annual check up' and getting new anti-virus installed!
This was to have been for Presidents' Day yesterday. Today is actually George Washington's birthday, so in celebration, here are ten quotes by as many presidents; taken from "In God We Still Trust" by Dr.Richard G. Lee. Presidents who have honored God and relied on His Word have profoundly impacted our country:
"It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible."
~ Attributed to George Washington, 1st president
**
"The first and almost only book deserving of universal attention is the Bible.
I speak as a man of the world........and I say to you, 'Search the Scripture'."
~ John Quincy Adams, 6th president
**
"The book, sir, is the Rock on which our republic rests."
~ Andrew Jackson, 7th president
**
"In regard for this Great Book, I have this to say,
it is the best gift God has given to man.
all the good the Savior gave to the world was communicated through this book."
~ Abraham Lincoln, 16th president
**
"If you take out of your statues, your constitution, your family life
all that is taken from the Sacred Book,
what would there be left to bind society together?"
~ Benjamin Harrison, 23rd president
**
"The Bible is the one supreme source of revelation of the meaning of life,
the nature of God, and spiritual nature and needs of men...
America was born a Christian nation.
America was born to exemplify that devotion to the elements of righteousness
which are derived from the revelations of Holy Scripture."
~ Woodrow Wilson, 28th president
**
"The foundations of our society and our government rest so much on the teachings of the Bible
that it would be difficult to support them if faith in these teachings would cease
to be practically universal in our country."
~ Calvin Coolidge, 30th president
**
"We cannot read the history of our rise and developments a nation
without reckoning with the place the Bible has occupied in shaping the advances of the Republic.
Where we have been the truest and most consistent in obeying in precepts,
we have attained the greatest measure of contentment and prosperity."
~ Franklin DO. Roosevelt, 32nd president
**
"The fundamental basis of this nation's laws was given by Moses on the Mount.
The fundamental basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teachings we get from
Exodus and Saint Matthew, from Isaiah and Saint Paul....
If we don't have a proper fundamental moral background,
we will finally end up with a totalitarian government which does not believe in rights for anybody except the State!"
~ Harry S. Truman, 33rd president
**
"Inside the Bible's pages lie all the answers to all of the problems man has ever known....
The Bible can touch our hearts, order our minds, and refresh our souls."
~ Ronald Reagan, 40th president
