*"His was the directing spirit without which there would have been no independence, no Union, no Constitution, and no Republic. His ways were the ways of truth. He built for eternity. His influence grows. His stature increases with the increasing years. In wisdom of action, in purity of character, he stands alone. We cannot yet estimate him. We can only indicate our reverence for him and thank the Divine Providence which sent him to serve and inspire his fellow men."<ref>[http://history.house.gov/HistoricalHighlight/Detail/37161?ret=True A Joint Session to Commemorate the Birthday of George Washington], February 22, 1927</ref><ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=UUxfx5cAbmEC&pg=PA324 Apostle of Liberty: The World-Changing Leadership of George Washington]</ref>

*"It is hard to see how a great man can be an atheist. Without the sustaining influence of faith in a divine power we could have little faith in ourselves. We need to feel that behind us is intelligence and love. Doubters do not achieve; skeptics do not contribute; cynics do not create. Faith is the great motive power, and no man realizes his full possibilities unless he has the deep conviction that life is eternally important, and that his work, well done, is a part of an unending plan."<ref>Telephone Remarks to a Group of Boy Scouts: "What it Means to Be a Boy Scout", July 25, 1924.</ref>
