Statements from our founding fathers and quotes like this from the 19th Century, are not taught in our schools anymore...but they should be. What a great heritage for our schools, if they were...and they should be taught in our homes...along with the Bible:

"If we and our posterity reject religious instruction and authority, violate the rules of eternal justice, trifle with the injunctions of morality, and recklessly destroy the political constitution which holds us together, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us that shall bury all our glory in profound obscurity."
-Daniel Webster, February 23, 1852, died in October of same year.

Some wise words from our first president:
First President 1789-1797
"I am sure there never was a people who had more reason to acknowledge a Divine interposition in their affairs than those of the United States; and I should be pained to believe that they have forgotten that Agency which was so often manifested during our revolution, or that they failed to consider the omnipotence of that God who is alone able to protect them." -George Washington
Born: February 22, 1732 in Westmoreland County, Virginia
Died: December 14, 1799 in Mount Vernon, Virginia
