Quotes From U.S. Presidents About The Bible “Do not let any one claim to be a true American if they ever attempt to remove religion from politics.” - First President of the United States – George Washington “We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We’ve staked the future of all our political institutions upon our capacity…to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God.” - Fourth President of the United States & founding Father – James Madison “That I am not a member of any Christian church is true; but I have never denied the truth of the Scriptures; and I have never spoken with intentional disrespect of religion in general, or of any denomination of Christians in particular….I do not think I could myself be brought to support a man for office whom I knew to be an open enemy of, or scoffer at, religion.” - Abraham Lincoln “Hold fast to the Bible as the sheet-anchor of your liberties; write its precepts in your hearts and practice them in your lives. To the influence of this book we are indebted for all the progress made in true civilization, and to this we must look as our guide in the future. Righteousness exalteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to any people.” - Ulysses S. Grant The whole inspiration of our civilization springs from the teachings of Christ and the lessons of the prophets.
