Daniel Webster

I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God, written by men who were inspired. I study the Bible daily. Sir Isaac Newton

Those who sacrifice essential liberty for temporary safety are not deserving of either liberty or safety. Ben Franklin

I believe that the Bible is to be understood and received in the plain and obvious meaning of its passages; for I cannot persuade myself that a book intended for the instruction and conversion of the whole world should cover its true meaning in any such mystery and doubt that none but critics and philosophers can discover it. Daniel Webster

This book had to be written by one of three people: good men, bad men or God. It couldn t have been written by good men because they said it was inspired by the revelation of God. Good men don t lie and deceive. It couldn t have been written by bad men because bad men would not write something that would condemn themselves. It leaves only one conclusion. It was given by divine inspiration of God. John Wesley

People say that the Bible is a boring book but they don t say that about Shakespeare, because the people who teach Shakespeare are zealous for Shakespeare. Malcolm Muggeridge

The fundamental basis of this nation s law was given to Moses on the Mount. The fundamental basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teaching we get from Exodus and St. Matthew, from Isaiah and St. Paul. I don t think we emphasize that enough these days. If we don t have the proper fundamental moral background, we will finally end up with a totalitarian government which does not believe in the right for anybody except the state. Harry S. Truman

There is no other book so various as the Bible, nor one so full of concentrated wisdom. Whether it be of law, business, morals, etc . He who seeks for guidance may look inside its covers and find illumination. Herbert Hoover

A single line in the Bible has consoled me more than all the books I ever read besides. Immanuel Kant

I have known ninety-five of the world s great men in my time, and of these eighty-seven were followers of the Bible. W. E. Gladstone

I was humbled to learn that God sent His Son to die for a sinner like me. I was comforted to know that through the Son, I could find God s amazing grace, a grace that crosses every border, every barrier and is open to everyone. Through the love of Christ s life, I could understand the life changing powers of faith Faith changes lives. I know, because faith has changed mine. I could not be governor if I did not believe in a divine plan that supersedes all human plans. Politics is a fickle business. Polls change. Today s friend is tomorrow s adversary. People lavish praise and attention. Many times it is genuine; sometimes it is not. Yet I build my life on a foundation that will not shift. George W. Bush

Every scripture is God-breathed-given by His inspiration-and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, and for training in righteousness [that is, in holy living, in conformity to God s will in thought, purpose and action]. So that the man of God may be complete and proficient, well-fitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-1).
