Quote DB :: America Search in this category Presidency (34) Sponsored Links Quote Author Rating Rate "We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." John Adams "I am well aware of the toil and blood and treasure that it will cost to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. Yet through all the gloom I can see the rays of ravishing light and glory. I can see that the end is worth more than the means." John Adams "The Constitution shall never be construed...to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms." Samuel Adams "A Galileo could no more be elected president of the United States than he could be elected Pope of Rome. Both high posts are reserved for men favored by God with an extraordinary genius for swathing the bitter facts of life in bandages of self-illusion." Henry Mencken "We know that equality of individual ability has never existed and never will, but we do insist that equality of opportunity still must be sought." Franklin D. Roosevelt "There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America." Bill Clinton "If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a Nation gone under." Ronald Reagan "America is an enormous frosted cupcake in the middle of millions of starving people." Gloria Steinem "It is by the goodness of God that, in this country, we have three benefits: freedom of speech, freedom of thought, and the wisdom never to use either." Mark Twain "The United States is in no sense founded upon the Christian doctrine." George Washington "The women of this nation in 1876, have greater cause for discontent, rebellion and revolution than the men of 1776." Susan B. Anthony "This country will not be a good place for any of us to live in unless we make it a good place for all of us to live in." Theodore Roosevelt "We Americans have no commission from God to police the world." Benjamin Harrison "We will always remember. We will always be proud. We will always be prepared, so we may always be free." Ronald Reagan "My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man." John F. Kennedy "It is part of the American character to consider nothing as desperate - to surmount every difficulty by resolution and contrivance." Thomas Jefferson "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here." Patrick Henry "America is not like a blanket: one piece of unbroken cloth, the same color, the same texture, the same size. America is more like a quilt: many patches, many pieces, many colors, many sizes, all woven and held together by a common thread." Jesse Jackson "I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free." Abraham Lincoln "Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: First a right to life, secondly to liberty, and thirdly to property; together with the right to defend them in the best manner they can."
