More quotes by Benjamin Rush
A pioneer is generally a man who has outlived his credit or fortune in the cultivated parts.
Benjamin Rush
Let our pupil be taught that he does not belong to himself, but that he is public property. Let him be taught to love his family, but let him be taught at the same time that he must forsake and even forget them when the welfare of his country requires it.
Benjamin Rush
Without the restraints of religion and social worship, men become savages much sooner than savages become civilized by means of religion and civil government.
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
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
Let us show the world that a difference of opinion upon medical subjects is not incompatible with medical friendships and in so doing, let us throw the whole odium of the hostility of physicians to each other upon their competition for business and money.
Benjamin Rush
Mothers and schools plant the seeds of nearly all the good and evil which exists in the world.
Benjamin Rush
I have alternately been called an Aristocrat and a Democrat. I am neither. I am a Christocrat.
Benjamin Rush
The Gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.
Benjamin Rush
Christianity is the only true and perfect religion and... in proportion as mankind adopt its principles and obey its precepts, they will be wise and happy.
Benjamin Rush
If we were to remove the Bible from public schools we would be wasting so much time punishing crimes and taking so little pains to prevent them.
Benjamin Rush
In Macbeth a lady is restrained from the murder of a king by his resemblance of her father as he slept. Should not all men be restrained from acts of violence and even of unkindness against their fellow men by observing in them something which resembles the Savior of the World? If nothing else certainly, a human figure?
Benjamin Rush
A Christian cannot fail of being a republican.
Benjamin Rush
Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship to restrict the art of healing to one class of Men and deny equal privileges to others the Constitution of the Republic should make a Special privilege for medical freedoms as well as religious freedom.
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
The American war is over, but this is far from being the case with the American Revolution.
Benjamin Rush
Dreams are nothing but incoherent ideas, occasioned by partial or imperfect sleep.
Benjamin Rush
Terror acts powerfully upon the body, through the medium of the mind, and should be employed in the cure of madness.
Benjamin Rush
If moral precepts alone could have reformed mankind, the mission of the Son of God into all the world would have been unnecessary. 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
Scandal dies sooner of itself, than we could kill it.
