GREAT MEN SPEAK

Daniel Webster: I have read the Bible through many times, and now make it a practice to read it through once every year. I pity the man who cannot find in it a rich supply of … rules for conduct.

Benjamin Franklin: A Bible and a newspaper in every house, a good school in every district … all studied … are the principle support of virtue, morality and civil liberty.

Isaac Newton: We account the Scriptures of God to be the most sublime philosophy. I find more … authenticity in the Bible than in any profane history whatever.

Woodrow Wilson: When you read the Bible you will know it is the Word of God, because you will have found the key to your own heart, your own happiness and your own duty.

John Q. Adams: So great is my veneration for the Bible, that the earlier my children begin to read it the more confident will be my hopes that they will prove to be useful citizens to their country.

Napoleon: The Gospel is not merely a book – it is a living power – a book surpassing all others. I never omit to read it … every day.

Abraham Lincoln: Accept all of the Bible you can by reason and the rest by faith and you will be a better person.
