“No people can be bound to acknowledge and adore the invisible hand, which conducts the affairs of men, more than the people of the United States. Every step… seems to have been distinguished by some token of providential agency.”

George Washington • American Founder, First President

“And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

Jesus

“The sacred rights of mankind are_… written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of Divinity itself; and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power.”

Alexander Hamilton • American “Founding Father”

“The principles of eternal things should be always most true; for they are not sometimes true, nor is any thing the cause of being to them, but they are the causes of being to other things, and hence, such as is the being of every thing, such also is its truth.”

Aristotle

“I have lived, sir, a long time; and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men! And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid.”

Benjamin Franklin • American Founder, Statesman, Inventor

“There has never been a great people who did not possess great learning.”

Calvin Coolidge • American President
