More quotes by Benjamin Rush

While the business of education in Europe consists in lectures upon the ruins of Palmyra and the antiquities of Herculaneum , or in disputes about Hebrew points, Greek particles, or the accent and quantity of the Roman language, the youth of America will be employed in acquiring those branches of knowledge which increase the conveniences of life.
Benjamin Rush
Such is my veneration for every religion that reveals the attributes of the Deity, or a future state of rewards and punishments, that I had rather see the opinions of Confucius or Mahomed inculcated upon our youth than see them grow up wholly devoid of a system of religious principles.
Benjamin Rush
A Christian cannot fail of being a republican.
Benjamin Rush
Mirth, and even cheerfulness, when employed as remedies in low spirits, are like hot water to a frozen limb.
Benjamin Rush

The perfect morality of the gospel rests upon the doctrine which, though often controverted has never been refuted: I mean the vicarious life and death of the Son of God.
Benjamin Rush
The gospel of Jesus Christ prescribes the wisest rules for just conduct in every situation in life. Happy they who are enabled to obey them in all situations!
Benjamin Rush
Liberty without virtue would be no blessing to us.
Benjamin Rush
The Gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.
Benjamin Rush
Scandal dies sooner of itself, than we could kill it.
Benjamin Rush
By renouncing the Bible, philosophers swing from their moorings upon all moral subjects..It is the only correct map of the human heart that ever has been published.
Benjamin Rush
A simple democracy is the devil's own government.
