FAMOUS QUOTES
George Washington
The Constitution is the guide which I never will abandon.
Abraham Lincoln
Don't interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties.
Ronald Reagan
Our federal tax system, is in short, utterly impossible, utter
ly unjust and completely counterproductive, it reeks with unjustice and is fundamentally un-American.....it has earned a rebillion and it's time we rebelled.
Adrian Rogers, 1931-2005
You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
George Washington Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is a force! It is a dangerous servant and a terrible master. John Adams There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty. 
John Adams
Thomas Paine
Those 
who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.
Daniel Webster
Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster and what has happend once in 6,000 years may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution.!
Thomas Jefferson
God who gave us life gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed 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, and that His justice cannot sleep forever.” (excerpts are inscribed on the walls of the Jefferson Memorial in the nations capital) [Source: Merrill . D. Peterson, ed., Jefferson Writings, (New York: Literary Classics of the United States, Inc., 1984), Vol. IV, p. 289. From Jefferson’s Notes on the State of Virginia, Query XVIII, 1781.]
Peter Marshall
........May freedom be seen not as the right to do as we please but as the opportunity to please to do what is right. May it ever be understood that our liberty is under God and can be found no where else.....To the extent America honors Thee, wilt Thou bless America....
If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a Nation gone under.
Ronald Reagan Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must befought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, orone day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States when men were free. Thomas Jefferson letter to Samuel Kercheval Date: July 12, 1816 We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. If we will not be governed by God, then we will be ruled by tyrants.

President Calvin Coolidge Noah Webster Founding Father and author of the first English dictionary Let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers just men who will rule in the fear of God (Exodus 18:21).....If the citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted....If our government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the Divine commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the laws. James Madison To the Gereral Assembly of the State of Virginia 
exercised, is void. No legislative act, therefore, contrary to the Constitution, can be valid. To deny this, would be to affirm, that the deputy is greater than his principal; that the servant is above his master; that the representatives of the people are superior to the people themselves; that men acting by virtue of powers, may do not only what their powers do not authorize, but what they forbid.
We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of the government, far from it. We've staked the future of all our political institutions upon our capacity...to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God.
At the Constitutional Convention of 1787, James Madison proposed the plan to divide the central government into three branches. He discovered this model of government from the Perfect Governor, as he read Isaiah 33:22, "For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; He will save us."

Welfare is another of our major problems. We are a humane and generous people and we accept without reservation our obligation to help the aged, disabled, and those unfortunates who, through no fault of their own, must depend on their fellow man. But we are not going to perpetuate poverty by substituting a permanent dole for a paycheck. There is no humanity or charity in destroying self-reliance, dignity, and self-respect ... the very substance of moral fiber.
Ronald Reagan
One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine. It's very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project. ... Now, the American people, if you put it to them about socialized medicine and gave them a chance to choose, would unhesitatingly vote against it.
Abraham Lincoln
Our d
efense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as a heritage of all men, in all lands, everywhere. Destroy this spirit and you have planted the seeds of despotism around your own doors.
Abraham Lincoln
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
Abraham Lincoln, March 30, 1863
And whereas, it is the duty of nations as well as of men to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions in humble sorrow yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon, and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history: that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord.
Alexander Hamilton, letter to James Bayard, 1802
The present Constitution is the standard to which we are to cling. Under its banners, bona fide must we combat our political foes -- rejecting all changes but through the channel itself provides for amendments.
Alexander Hamilton, Essay in the American Daily Advertiser, 1794
If it be asked, What is the most sacred duty and the greatest source of our security in a Republic? The answer would be, An inviolable respect for the Constitution and Laws -- the first growing out of the last. ... A sacred respect for the constitutional law is the vital principle, the sustaining energy of a free government.
Patrick Henry, Speech to the Virginia Convention, March 23, 1775
Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at t
he price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God. I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
Thomas Jefferson 
The two enemies of the people are criminals and government,
so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution
so the second will not become the legalized version of the first.
Benjamin Franklin
This will be the best se
curity for maintaining our liberties. A nation of well-informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the religion of ignorance that tyranny begins.
Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature.
Benjamin Franklin, To Colleagues at the Constitutional Convention
All of us who were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of superintending providence in our favor. To that kind providence we owe this happy opportunity of consulting in peace on the means of establishing our future national felicity. And have we now forgotten that powerful friend? Or do we imagine that we no longer need his assistance? 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? We have been assured, Sir in the Sacred Writings, that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that built it.
