Chi Alpha Omega Alumnus
"In regard to this great book (the Bible), I have but to say, it is the best gift God has given to men. All the good Savior gave to the world was communicated through this book. But for it we could not know right from wrong. All things most desirable for man's welfare, here and hereafter, are to be found portrayed in it." - Abraham Lincoln
Tyranny is so generally established in the rest of the world that the prospect of an asylum in America for those who love liberty gives general joy, and our cause is esteemed the cause of all mankind…we are fighting for the dignity and happiness of human nature. Glorious it is for the Americans to be called by Providence to this posit of honour. Cursed and detested will everyone be that deserts or betrays it. - Benjamin Franklin
We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other. - John Adams
"In my many years I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm, and three or more is a congress." - John Adams
Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be 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
The Bible is worth all the other books which have ever been printed. - Patrick Henry
The great object is that every man be armed. - Patrick Henry
This is all the inheritance I give to my dear family. The religion of Christ will give them one which will make them rich indeed. - Patrick Henry
It goes back to another caption that I have seen given to this picture that is a more direct reference to the movie. Instead of saying "I see dead people," he says "I see stupid people." And so I had that association. Added to that, he really does look quite vexed to me. So I decided to push it a little.
