Without God, Democracy Will Not And Cannot

We've Been A Free People Living Under The Law, With Faith In Our Maker And In Our Future. I've Said Before That The Most Sublime Picture In American History Is Of George Washington On His Knees In The Snow At Valley Forge. That Image Personifies A People Who Know That It's Not Enough To Depend On Our Own Courage And Goodness; We Must Also Seek Help From God, Our Father And Preserver.

It Is The Soviet Union That Runs Against The Tide Of History . . . . [it Is] The March Of Freedom And Democracy Which Will Leave Marxism-leninism On The Ash Heap Of History, As It Has Left Other Tyrannies Which Stifle The Freedom And Muzzle The Self-expression Of The People.

Our Liberty Springs From And Depends Upon An Abiding Faith In God.

May All Of You As Americans Never Forget Your Heroic Origins, Never Fail To Seek Divine Guidance, And Never Lose Your Natural God-given Optimism.

Anyone Who Seeks Success Or Greatness Should First Forget About Both And Seek Only The Truth. The Rest Will Follow.
