Alexander Hamilton said it this way: “The law . . . dictated by God Himself is, of course, superior in obligation to any other. It is binding over all the globe, in all countries, and at all times. No human laws are of any validity if contrary to this.”

Coleman Cox, author, said it this way: “If we could make a great bonfire of the thousands of laws we have in this country, and start all over again with only the Golden Rule and the Ten Commandments, I am sure we would get along better.”

Benjamin Franklin said it this way: “I conceive for many Reason that He [God] is a good Being, and as I should be happy to have so wise, good and powerful a Being my friend, let me consider in what manner I shall make myself most acceptable to Him. Next to the praise resulting from and due to His Wisdom, I believe He is pleased and delights in the Happiness of those he has created; and since without Virtue man can have no Happiness in this World, I firmly believe He delights to see me Virtuous because He is pleased when He sees me Happy.”

Patrick Henry said it this way: “Virtue, morality, and religion. This is the armor, my friend, and this alone that renders us invincible. These are the tactics we should study. If we lose these, we are conquered, fallen indeed.”,
