The American Revolution

President John Adams explained that the American Revolution began in the hearts and minds of the American people. John Adams said:

“But what do We mean by the American Revolution? Do We mean the American War? The Revolution was effected before the War commenced. The Revolution was in the Minds and Hearts of the People. A Change in their Religious Sentiments of their Duties and Obligations.”

The American Revolution never ended. Two hundred and fifty years later, it’s still going on in the hearts and minds of the American people.

Words shape how we think, what we believe, and what we do.

The words of America’s founders continue to echo through our history — not simply as quotations, but as guiding ideas about liberty, responsibility, faith, and hope.

In an age of noise and distraction, rediscovering these voices is not an exercise in nostalgia. It is a way of remembering who we are — and where we are going.

That’s why I created The Good, The Bad, & The Hope We Have: A Treasury of Useful Quotations.

The Purpose Behind This Collection

For years, I’ve gathered quotations that shaped nations, influenced leaders, and challenged ordinary citizens to think more deeply. What began as personal study became something larger — a curated archive of words that still speak to the modern world.

This book isn’t just a list of quotes. It’s a guided treasury — carefully selected, historically grounded, and organized to help readers reflect on enduring truths about freedom, character, and faith.

The sampler you can download below offers a glimpse into that larger work.

Words That Still Speak Today

Here are a few examples of the quotes you’ll find at TheQuoteCollector.com:

“We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth.” — Abraham Lincoln

“When truth and error have fair play, the former is always an overmatch for the latter.” — Benjamin Franklin

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.” — Ronald Reagan

These words remind us that history is not distant — it is alive in the ideas we carry forward.

Why a Free Sampler?

Many readers have told me they don’t just want another book — they want something meaningful they can return to again and again.

The free sampler gives you:

A preview of the curated quotation style

The tone and structure of the full treasury

Book Review by Emma on Instagram

*The Good, The Bad, & The Hope We Have* by Larry Vaughn 5 outof 5 🌟 Larry Vaughn’s *The Good, The Bad, & The Hope We Have* does something quietly radical: it treats ideas as living forces with moral weight, not as neutral opinions to be sampled and discarded. This is not a quotation book meant for casual inspiration; it is a curated reckoning. Vaughn approaches words the way an archaeologist approaches artifacts—carefully lifted, context preserved, and placed where their meaning can still breathe and challenge. What makes this work feel singular is its insistence that history is not behind us. The quotations gathered here function like pressure points, revealing how the beliefs that built a nation are the same beliefs now under strain. Vaughn does not ask readers to admire the Founding Fathers as flawless heroes. Instead, he invites them to listen to the seriousness with which those men spoke about virtue, faith, and the danger of unchecked power—subjects that modern discourse often reduces to slogans or avoids entirely. The book’s structure creates a moral contrast rather than a linear argument. Readers are not marched toward a conclusion; they are placed between competing visions of humanity. On one side stand voices that assume moral absolutes and personal accountability. On the other are ideologies that promise equality and justice while quietly eroding responsibility and freedom. Vaughn’s restraint is notable—he allows the quotes themselves to expose contradictions, trusting the reader to recognize them. Perhaps the most unexpected depth of the book lies in its emotional undertone. Beneath the political and theological commentary is a sense of grief—grief for a culture that has forgotten how to think patiently, read carefully, and argue honestly. Vaughn writes like someone trying to rescue clarity before it disappears, particularly for younger readers who may inherit a nation without understanding the beliefs that once sustained it.2w

The “hope” Vaughn offers is neither sentimental nor abstract. It is grounded in remembrance—remembering that ideas have consequences, that freedom requires discipline, and that faith once served as a moral anchor rather than a cultural accessory. This book does not seek applause. It seeks awakening. Whether one agrees with Vaughn or not, The Good, The Bad, & The Hope We Have leaves readers with an unsettling realization: neutrality is itself a choice, and silence is never without consequence.

The Good, The Bad, & The Hope We Have

✨ Release Day! My New Book The Good, The Bad, & The Hope We Have Is Now Live on Amazon

Today is a day I’ve been praying and working toward for a very long time. I’m excited to announce that my newest book, The Good, The Bad, & The Hope We Have: A Treasury of Useful Quotations, is officially LIVE on Amazon!

👉 Get your copy here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FSYVFVGN

This book grew out of my deep desire to help readers make sense of the moment we’re living in—to encourage hearts, strengthen faith, and offer clarity in a world that often feels confused, divided, or discouraged. Over many months, I gathered powerful quotations from history, Scripture, statesmen, thinkers, and ordinary people whose words still speak truth today. Then I organized them in a way that brings perspective to the good, the bad, and ultimately the hope we can hold onto.

Why I Wrote This Book

I believe people today are hungry for truth—real truth, not noise. Many feel the weight of cultural change, political tension, and moral drift. Yet history reminds us that others before us have walked through dark valleys and still stood strong.

This book is my humble effort to:

preserve wisdom from those who came before us

illuminate the patterns of our times

encourage believers to stand firm in faith

remind us that God is still sovereign

and kindle hope where hope may feel thin

If just one person reads these words and feels inspired to trust God, cherish freedom, and live courageously, then the work was worth it.

What You’ll Find Inside

This treasury includes:

Hundreds of quotations—carefully curated for clarity, impact, and relevance

Short reflections to help readers apply the wisdom to today’s world

Themes that guide the reader from the realities of “the bad” to the truth of “the good,” and finally to the hope promised to us

Whether you're a teacher, ministry leader, parent, student, or simply someone who loves history and Scripture, this book will serve as a companion and a reminder that you are not alone in the struggle for truth.

A Book for This Moment in History

America is facing challenges—many we’ve seen before, some we’ve never seen at all. But history also teaches us that every generation has had to rise, stand, and decide what they believe.

This book is meant to help you do just that: stand, remember, be encouraged, and hold on to hope.
