Founders' Quotes, 14-15 April 2025

Two quotes concerning religion & morality to contemplate and think about....

(1) Religion and good morals are the only solid foundation of public liberty and happiness. - Samuel Adams, letter to John Trumbull, 1778

(2) Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, Religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism who should labor to subvert these great Pillars of human happiness. - George Washington, Farewell Address, 1796

'Religion & morality are bedrocks of any civil society for without them, we're headed pretty much back to the world of John Hobbes' Leviathan, a short brutish and nasty life without anything redeeming inside it whatsoever.
