🎂 A birthday salute with quotes from the mind of one of America's greatest patriots!🎂
"We recognize no sovereign but God and no King but Jesus!"
"Our Constitution was made for only moral and religious people.
It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
"Liberty must at all hazards be supported. We have a right to it, derived
from our Maker. But if we had not, our fathers have earned and bought it for us,
at the expense of their ease.. their estates, their pleasure, and their blood."
"The Declaration of Independence laid the cornerstone of
human government upon the first precepts of Christianity."
"The true source of our suffering has been our timidity. We have been
afraid to think...Let us dare to read, think, speak, and write."
"As much as I converse with sages and heroes, they have very little of my love
and admiration. I should prefer the delights of a garden to the dominion of a world."
"I fear in every elected office members will obtain an influence by noise not sense.
By meanness, not greatness. By ignorance, not learning. By contracted hearts,
not large souls. There must be decency and respect."
"If conscience disapproves, the loudest applauses of the world are of little value."
"Facts are stubborn things and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations,
or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence."
"Do justly. Love mercy. Walk humbly. This is enough."
