Read the Bible!
“Great Men and
the Bible”
George
Washington
(1732-1799)—“It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the
Bible.”
Abraham
Lincoln
(1809-1865)—“I am profitably engaged in reading the Bible. Take all of this
book upon reason that you can and the balance by faith and you will live and
die a better man.” Lincoln also said, “I believe the Bible is the best gift God
has ever given to man. All the good from
the Savior of the world is communicated to us through this book.”
Woodrow Wilson (1856-1924)—“A man has
deprived himself of the best there is in the world who has deprived himself of
a knowledge of the Bible”
Patrick Henry (1736-1799)—“There is a
Book worth all other books in the world.”
Daniel Webster (1782-1852)—“If we abide by
the principles taught in the Bible our country will go on prospering, but if we
and our posterity neglect its instruction and authority, no man can tell how
sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury us and our glory in profound
obscurity.”
Charles A.
Dana (1819-1897)—American
journalist—“Of all the books the most indispensable and the most useful, the
one whose knowledge is the most effective is the Bible. There is no book like
the Bible. In every controversy the
Bible contains the right answer and pleads for the right policy.”
Sir Isaac
Newton
(1641-1727)—“I account the scriptures of God the most sublime philosophy.”
Immanuel Kant (1724-1804)—German philosopher—“The
existence of the Bible as a book for the people is the greatest benefit which
the human race has ever experienced.”
John Ruskin (1819-1900)—English
author—“Read your Bible. Make it your
daily business to obey it in all you understand. To my early knowledge of the Bible I owe the
best part of my tests for literature.”
Dr. Jacob G.
Schurman
(1854-1942)—Past President of Cornell University—“The Bible is the most
valuable document in English literature.
No man can be called an uneducated man who knows his Bible and no man
can be called educated who does not know his Bible.”
John Quincy
Adams
(1767-1848)—“The first and almost the only book deserving of universal
distinction is the Bible. I speak as a
man of the world to the men of the world and I say to you, ‘Search the
Scriptures’.”
Dr. William
Lyon Phelps
(1865-1943)—noted educator—“I thoroughly believe in a university education for
both men and women; but I believe a knowledge of the Bible without a college
education is more valuable than a college course without the Bible.” AMEN!
Solomon (1000 BC)—“The fear of the
Lord is the beginning of knowledge;
but fools despise wisdom and instruction,” Proverbs 1:7. Also, “Buy the truth
and sell it not,” Proverbs 23:23.
