Scandals abound. We are first shocked, then wearied, to learn that our national leaders have feet of clay. We live in a time, in short, which demands that we return to our origins to discover the common principles that make us essentially American. \u003ci\u003eOur Sacred Honor\u003c\/i\u003e reveals those common principles. They are articulated by the flawed but deeply admirable men and women who first wrote what it is to be American. The pledge made by the Founders to one another that hot July day in 1776--the pledge of \"our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor\"--has been redeemed many times in the centuries since, but the nation they founded has never failed to profit from their example. It is time to profit from their advice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eOur Sacred Honor, \u003c\/i\u003e William J. Bennett has collected the best that has been thought and said by and about the men and women who founded America. And what a group they are: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, John and Abigail Adams, and so many more that otherwise first-rate intellects such as John Dickinson, Benjamin Rush, and George Mason are relegated to the status of footnotes in the popular imagination. Not since Periclean Athens has such a small nation been led by so many larger-than-life figures. The only characteristic they shared more widely than revolutionary ardor was their talent (and inclination) for advice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe stories, songs, letters, and speeches collected in \u003ci\u003eOur Sacred Honor\u003c\/i\u003e are an inspiring celebration of American exceptionalism, produced by a collection of exceptional Americans. It is the best book of advice in more than two hundred years.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. William J.
