“Can the liberties of a nation be sure when we remove their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people, that these liberties are a gift from God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just.”
- Thomas Jefferson
“[Religion is] deemed in other countries incompatible with good government and yet proved by our experience to be its best support.”
- Thomas Jefferson
“The Bible is the cornerstone of liberty … students’ perusal of the sacred volume will make us better citizens.”
- Thomas Jefferson
