importance, has never failed to give me strength." - Robert E. Lee
"If there is anything in my thoughts or style to commend, the credit is due to my parents
for instilling in me an early love of the Scriptures. If we abide by the principles taught in
the Bible, our country will go on prospering and to prosper; but if we and our posterity
neglect it's instructions and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may
overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity." - Daniel Webster
"Forty years I have loved the word of God. I feel the blessed pages under my hand with
special thankness, as a rod and a staff to keep my steps firm through the valley of
depression and world calamity. Truly, the Bible, the teaching of our saviour, is the 'only
way out of the dark.' " - Hellen Keller

strongly the truths contained in the Holy Scriptures." - Sir William Herschel
"If all the great books of the world were given life and were brought together in
Convention, the moment the Bible entered, the other books would fall on their faces as
the gods of the Philistia fell when the ark of God was brought into their presence in the
temple of Dagon." - Sir Isaac Newton

The farther the ages advance in civilization the more will the Bible be used." - Johann
Wolfgang Von Goethe

in the Holy Scriptures, for this is your certain interest. I think Christ's system of morals
and religion, as He left to us, the best the world ever saw or is likely to see." - Benjamin
Franklin
"Peruse the books of philosophers with all their pomp of diction. How meager, how
contemptible are they when compared with the Scriptures? The majesty of the Scriptures
strikes me admiration." - Jean Jacques Rousseau
