Great Men Speak of the Bible:

John Quincy Adams
“So great is my veneration for the Bible that the earlier my children begin to read it the more confident will be my hopes that they will prove useful citizens of their country and respectable members of society.”

Thomas Jefferson
“The studious perusal of the sacred volume will make better citizens.”

William Ewart Gladstone
“I have known ninety-five great men of the world in my time, and of these eighty-seven were all followers of the Bible.”

Horace Greeley
“It is impossible to mentally or socially enslave a Bible-reading people! The principles of the Bible are the groundwork of human freedom.”

Patrick Henry
“There is a Book worth all other books which were ever printed.”

William McKinley
“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.”

Abraham Lincoln
“In regard to this great Book, I have only to say that it is the best Book that God has given to man.”

Theodore Roosevelt
“No other book of any kind ever written in English-perhaps no other book ever written in any other tongue has ever so affected the whole life of a people as this authorized version of the Scriptures has affected the life of the English-speaking peoples.”

Lord Tennyson
“The Bible ought to be read, were it only for the sake of the grand English in which it is written, an education in itself.”

Daniel Webster
“If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering and to prosper; but if we and our posterity neglect its instructions and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity.”

ΆΓΙΟΣ ΒΙΒΔΟΣ
The next time you see the “Open-Book,” in your church's stained glass window, remember that it is the “Hagios Biblos,”the”Holy Book,” who scores of Godly men and women of faith, have given their lives, so that you may know the truth.
