George Washington's.

"Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair; the rest is in the hands of God."

Actually, the fuller Washington quote is more to the point of the contention between you and I:

"If, to please the people, we offer what we ourselves disprove, how can we afterwards defend our work? Let us raise a standard to which the wise and the honest can repair. The event is in the hand of God." -- George Washington

Please tell me why I'm wrong in my belief that Christians who compromise with evil because they think it's the only way they "can win" are acting like they think God doesn't exist, and that He isn't in control of every situation and outcome.

"All of us who were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of superintending providence in our favor. To that kind providence we owe this happy opportunity of consulting in peace on the means of establishing our future national felicity.

And have we now forgotten that powerful friend? Or do we imagine that we no longer need his assistance? I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth-that God governs in the affairs of men.

And if a sparrow cannot fall to the Ground without his Notice, is it probable that an Empire can rise without his Aid?"" -- Benjamin Franklin
