More Presidents On Religion

Abraham Lincoln:  "I am profitably engaged in reading the Bible. Take all of this Book upon reason that you can, and the balance by faith, and you will live and die a better man".

John Quincy Adams: "My custom is to read four or five chapters of The Bible every morning after rising....It seems to me the most suitable manner of beginning the day ...It is an invaluable and inexhaustible mine of knowledge and virtue."
     "So great is my veneration for the Bible that the earlier my children begin to read it the more confident will be my hope that they will prove useful citizens of their country and respectable members of society."

Ulysses S. Grant: My advise to Sunday Schools no matter what their denomination is: Hold fast to the Bible as the sheet anchor of your liberties; write its precepts in your heart, and practice them in your lives. To the influence of this Book we are indebted for the progress made in true civilization and to this we must look as our guide in the future".

Harry S.Truman: 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 emphasis that enough these days. If we don't have the proper fundamental oral background, will will finally end up with a totalitarian government which does not believe in the right for anyone but the state".

Herbert Hoover: "The study of the Bible is a post-graduate course in the richest library of human experience".

Theodore Roosevelt: "A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education".    
Andew Jackson: "That Book (The Bible) is the rock upon which our nation is built."

 Thomas Jefferson: "I have always said that a studious persual of the sacred volume will make better citizens, better fathers, and better husbands"

Whatever the personal faults (In the 20/20 perfection of today's "political correct" slugs) or policy failures of those Presidents, they were greater than myself and most of you readers.
