George Washington

"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

One of 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? I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever."
Thomas Jefferson
Signer and principal author of the Declaration
of Independence
Third President of the United States
"Before any man can be considered as a member of civil society, he must be considered as the subject of the Governor of the Universe." James Madison
Signer of the Constitution
Fourth President of the United States
Is it not in the chain of human events, that the birthday of a nation is indissolubly linked with the
birthday of the Savior? - That it forms a leading event in the progress of the Gospel dispensation? Is it
not that the Declaration of Independence first formed the social compact on the foundation of the
Redeemer's mission upon earth? - That it laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first
precepts of Christianity?"
John Quincy Adams
Statesman
Diplomat
Sixth President of the United States
