Quote of the day

"It is now no more that toleration is spoken of as if it were the indulgence of one class of people that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights, for, happily, the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection should demean them- selves as good citizens in giving it on all occasions their effectual support."

George Washington to The Hebrew Congregation of Newport, Rhode Island
