“I have always considered Christianity as the strong ground of republicanism.”

Temperate, sincere, and intelligent inquiry and discussion are only to be dreaded by the advocates of error. The truth need not fear them.

The only way to experience an experience is to experience it

Christianity is the only true and perfect religion.

If we were to remove the Bible from public schools we would be wasting so much time punishing crimes and taking so little pains to prevent them.

Patriotism is as much a virtue as justice, and is as necessary for the support of societies as natural affection is for the support of families.

Let our pupil be taught that he does not belong to himself, but that he is public property. Let him be taught to love his family, but let him be taught at the same time that he must forsake and even forget them when the welfare of his country requires it.

Tis done. We have become a nation.

Controversy is only dreaded by the advocates of error.

By renouncing the Bible, philosophers swing from their moorings upon all moral subjects..It is the only correct map of the human heart that ever has been published.

A Christian cannot fail of being a republican.

The Gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.

The only foundation for . . . a republic is to be laid in Religion. Without this there can be no virtue, and without virtue there can be no liberty, and liberty is the object and life of all republican governments.

A pioneer is generally a man who has outlived his credit or fortune in the cultivated parts.

The American war is over, but this is far from being the case with the American Revolution.

Without religion, I believe that learning does real mischief to the morals and principles of mankind.

The gospel of Jesus Christ prescribes the wisest rules for just conduct in every situation in life. Happy they who are enabled to obey them in all situations!

But I think that the results which each man arrives at in his attempts to harmonize his science with his Christianity ought not to be regarded as having any significance except to the man himself, and to him only for a time, and should not receive the stamp of a society.

Christianity and Western civilization-what countless crimes have been committed in thy name!

Christianity affirms the value of each individual soul. Nazism denies it.

I was brought up to believe that the Christian God wasn’t a scared and compromising public servant, but the creator of the whole merciless truth, and I reckon that training spoiled me – I actually took my teachers seriously!

No one is without Christianity, if we agree on what we mean by that word. It is every individual’s individual code of behavior by means of which he makes himself a better human being than his nature wants to be, if he followed his nature only.

That is why, according to this newer psychology, Christianity has already fulfilled its biological mission, and it is impossible for the modern man to understand its original significance.

To keep our hand on the plow while wiping away our tears — THAT is Christianity!

Science has done more for the development of western civilization in one hundred years than Christianity did in eighteen hundred years.
