Thoughts on the Bible

A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education.
Theodore Roosevelt

It ain’t the parts of the Bible that I can’t understand that bother me; it is the parts that I do understand.
Mark Twain

If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering; but if we and our posterity neglect its instructions and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity.
Daniel Webster

In 25 years the Bible will be a forgotten book.
Robert Ingersoll (who died in 1899)

When you have read the Bible, you will know it is the word of God, because you will have found it the key to your own heart, your own happiness, and your own duty.
Woodrow Wilson

The vigor of our spiritual life will be in exact proportion to the place held by the Bible in our life and thoughts.
George Müller

Some read the Bible to learn and some read the Bible to hear from heaven.
Andrew Murray
