“Our forefathers came to certain conclusions and decided upon certain courses of action which have been a great blessing to the world…They were a people who came under the influence of a great spiritual development and acquired a great moral power. No other theory is adequate to explain or comprehend the Declaration of Independence… If we are to maintain the great heritage which has been bequeathed to us, we must be like-minded as the fathers who created it…We must cultivate the reverence which they had for the things that are holy. We must follow the spiritual and moral leadership they showed. We must keep replenished, that they may glow with a more compelling flame, the alter fires before which they worshiped.”
-Calvin Coolidge, 30th President of the United States
