May not the children of these fathers rightly say: "Our fathers were English men which came over this great ocean and were ready to perish in this wilderness, but they cried unto the Lord , and he heard their voice . Let them therefore praise the Lord, because He is good and his mercies endure forever.

William Bradford, Mayflower pilgrim and Cheif Governor of Plymouth Colony

Our end in leaving our native country is not to gain riches and honor, but singly this: to live wholly for the glory of God.

James Edward Ogalthorpe, established Colony of Georgia

If thou wouldst rule well, thou must rule for God, and to do that, thou mmust be ruled by Him. Those who will not be governed by God will be ruled by tyrants.

William Penn, Founder of Pennsylvania

We shall find that the God of Israel is among us...for we must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill so that if we shall deal falsely with our God in this work we have undertaken and so cause Him to withdraw His present help from us we shall be made a story and a by-word through the world.

John Winthrop, First Governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony

If you ask an American who is his master, he will tell you he has none, nor any governor but Jesus Christ

Jonathan Trumbull, British governor of Connecticut

You do well to wish to learn our arts and ways of life and above all, the religion of Jesus Christ. Congress will do everything it can to assist you in this wise intention.

George Washington in 1779 address to Delawre Indian Chiefs

If the power of the gospel is not felt throughout the length and breadth of the land, anarchy and misrule, degradation and misery, corruption and darkness will reign without mitigation or end.

Daniel Webster, Secretary of State twice

No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and priveleges of a free people. All the miseries and evil which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the bible.

Noah Webster, Webster's Dictionary

The rights of the colonists as Christians may be best understood by reading and carefully studting the institution of the great Law Giver and head of the Christian Church, which are to be found clearly written in the New Testament.

Samuel Adams

Why is it that next to the birthday of the Savior of the world, your most joyous and most venerated festival returns on this day? Is it not that in the chain of human events, the birth day of the nation is indossolubly linked with the birth day of the Savior. Is it not that the Declaration of Independence laid the corner stone of human government upon the first precepts of christianity.

John Quincy Adams, President

To the kindly influence of Christianity, we owe that degree of civil freedom, and political and social happiness which mankind now enjoys. In proportion, as the genuine effects of Christianity are diminished in any nation, either through unbelief, or the corruption of its doctrines, in the same proportion will the people of the nation recede from the blessings of genuine freedom and approximate the miseries of complete despotism.

Jedidiah Morse, Father of Morse Code developer

There is no country in the whole world in which the Christian religion retains a greater influence over the souls of men than in America. The Americans combine the notions of CHristianity and of liberty so intimately in their minds, that it is impossible to make them conceive the one without the other. Upon my arrival in the US, the religious aspect of the country was the first thing that struck my attention. In France I had almost always seen the spirit of religion and the spirit of freedom persuing courses diametrically opposed to each other, but in America I found that they were intimately united, and that they reigned in common over the same country.

Alexis De Tocqueville, French author 1831

That book, sir, is the rock upon which our republic rests.

Andrew Jackson, President in reference to the bible

Truth, for Christ and the Church

Harvard University's first Moto

Let every scholar be plainly instructed and earnestly pressed to consider well the main end of his life and studies is to know God and Jesus Christ, which is eternal Life...therefore to lay Christ in the bottom as the only foundationj of all sound knowledge and learning.

Harvard University mantra

Under God's power, she flourishes

Princeton Moto

Cursed be all learning that is contrary to the cross of Christ

Jonathan Dickenson, First president of Princeton

All scholars shall live religious, godly and blameless lives according to the rules of God's word, diligently reading the Holy scriptures.

Regulations of Yale University

"About the time of the end, a body of men will be raised up who will turn their attention to the prophecies, and insist upon their literal interpretation, in the midst of much clamour and opposition."

Sir Isaac Newton

"The prophecies are to be unintelligible to the ungodly but intelligible to those who are properly instructed."

Blaise Pascal

Look at some of the names and it says everything about how our country was established.
