This tumblr's title should not be taken as meaning there will be a new quote every day. When there is one, it's the quote of the day. Sorry (to the rest of the world) about it being so americentric, if that's a word. I'm just tired of the myth promotion and lies about America's Founding Fathers by ignorant people. Some quotes may not be exactly from Founding Fathers. I may throw in some Lincoln. It's my blog.

Ask me anything
I agree with you likewise in your wishes to keep religion and government independant of each Other. Were it possible for St. Paul to rise from his grave at the present juncture, he would say to the Clergy who are now so active in settling the political Affairs of the World: “Cease from your political labors - your kingdom is not of this World. Read my Epistles. In no part of them will you perceive me aiming to depose a pagan Emperor, or to place a Christian upon a throne. Christianity disdains to receive Support from human Governments.”
Benjamin Rush, letter to Thomas Jefferson, October 6, 1800
Rush was a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
