Go to the Scriptures... the joyful promises it contains will be a balsam to
all your troubles.
-- Andrew Jackson
The foundations of our society and our government rest so much on the
teachings of the Bible that it would be difficult to support them if faith
in these teachings would cease to be practically universal in our country.
-- Calvin Coolidge
Lastly, our ancestors established their system of government on morality and
religious sentiment. Moral habits, they believed, cannot safely be trusted
on any other foundation than religious principle, nor any government be
secure which is not supported by moral habits.
-- Daniel Webster
We would like to apologize for the way in which politicians are
represented in this programme. It was never our intention to imply
that politicians are weak-kneed, political time-servers who are more
concerned with their personal vendettas and private power struggles
than the problems of government, nor to suggest at any point that
they sacrifice their credibility by denying free debate on vital
matters in the mistaken impression that party unity comes before
the well-being of the people they supposedly represent, nor to imply
at any stage that they are squabbling little toadies without an ounce
of concern for the vital social problems of today....
