'Is it not that in the chain of human events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior? Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized 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, 6th President of the United States
'We are a Christian people ... not because the law demands it, not to gain exclusive benefits ... but from choice and education; and in a land thus universally Christian, what is to be expected ... but that we shall pay due regard to Christianity?'----- Senate Judiciary Committee, 1853
'An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us ... we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us.'
----- Patrick Henry, Patriot and Statesman
'The longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth: That God governs in the affairs of men. If a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? We've been assured in the sacred writings that unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. I firmly believe this ... '----- Benjamin Franklin, Signer of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution
'The Bible is the best of all books, for it is the Word of God and teaches us the way to be happy in this world and in the next. Continue therefore to read it and to regulate your life by its precepts.'
----- John Jay, First Chief-Justice of the Supreme Court
'Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.'
----- Psalm 33:12a

Great wisdom...my favorite is:
'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 humbly to implore His protection and favor.'

Here are two of my favorites:
“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
― Albert Einstein
“Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events. It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”
― Robert F. Kennedy
