"No people can be bound to acknowledge and adore the Invisible Hand
which conducts the affairs of men more than the people of the United
States." George Washington
“I have just repeated word for word the oath taken by George Washington
200 years ago, and the Bible on which I place my hand is the Bible on
which he placed his.. My first act as President is a prayer...
"Heavenly Father, we bow our heads and thank You for Your love. Accept
our thanks for the peace that yields this day and the shared faith that
makes its continuance likely. Make us strong to do Your work, willing to
heed and hear Your will, and write on our hearts these words: 'Use
power to help people.'
"For we are given power not to advance
our own purposes, nor to make a great show in the world, nor a name.
There is but one just use of power, and it is to serve people. Help us
to remember it, Lord. Amen.” President George W. Bush – January 20,
1989
