A house without family worship has neither foundation nor covering.
--MASON.
Religion is the best armor in the world, but the worst cloak.--BUNYAN.
A good name is better than precious ointment.--ECCLESIASTES 7:1.
I have lived long enough to know what I did not at one time
believe--that no society can be upheld in happiness and honor without
the sentiment of religion.--LA PLACE.
Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity,
religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that
man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these
great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of
men and citizens. And let us with caution indulge the supposition that
morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded
to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure,
reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality
can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.--WASHINGTON.
"When I was young, I was sure of many things; there are only two
things of which I am sure now; one is, that I am a miserable sinner;
and the other, that Jesus Christ is an all sufficient Saviour." He is
well taught who gets these two lessons.--JOHN NEWTON.
If we make religion our business, God will make it our blessedness.
--H.G.J. ADAM.
The call to religion is not a call to be better than your fellows, but
to be better than yourself.
