Great Leaders Speak About the Bible
“Here is a Book worth more than all the other
books which were ever printed.” Patrick Henry
“That book, Sir, is the Rock upon which our
republic rests.” Andrew Jackson
“The more profoundly we study this wonderful
Book, and the more closely we observe its
divine precepts, the better citizens
we will become and the higher will
be our destiny as a nation.” William
McKinley

“The best religion the world has
ever known is the religion of the
Bible. It builds up all that is good.”
Rutherford B. Hayes

“There are a good many problems before the
American people today, and before me as
President, but I expect to find the solution of
those problems just in the proportion that I
am faithful in the study of the Word of God.”
Woodrow Wilson

“The whole inspiration of our civilization
springs from the teachings of Christ and the
lessons of the prophets. To read the Bible for
these fundamentals is a necessity of American
life.” Herbert Hoover

“I say to you, Search the Scriptures! The Bible
is the book of all others, to be read at all ages,
and in all conditions of human life; not to be
read once or twice or thrice through, and then
laid aside, but to be read in small portions of
one or two chapters every day, and never to
be intermitted, unless by some overruling necessity.”
John Quincy Adams

“We cannot read the history of our
rise and development as a nation,
without reckoning the place the
Bible has occupied in shaping the
advances of the Republic.” Franklin
D. Roosevelt
“Within the covers of the Bible are
all the answers for all the problems
men face. The Bible can touch hearts, order
minds and refresh souls.” Ronald Reagan
“In all my perplexities and distresses, the Bible
has never failed to give me light and strength.”
Robert E. Lee

“I have read the Bible through many times,
and now make it a practice to read it through
once every year. It is a book of all others for
lawyers, as well as divines; and I pity the man
who cannot find in it a rich supply of thought
and of rules for conduct. It fits a man for life
—it prepares him for death.” Daniel Webster
