President Ronald Reagan Quote

“Without God, there is no virtue, because there’s no prompting of the conscience. Without God, were mired in the material, that flat world that tells us only what the senses perceive. Without God, there is a coarsening of the society. And without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure. If we ever forget that we are one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.” –President Ronald Reagan
