All true no doubt. Although I recall my public school textbooks from the
one-room prairie schoolhouse containing the entire Nathan Hale speech.

Here is a quote that is also true:

The National Government will regard it as its first and foremost duty
to revive in the nation the spirit of unity and cooperation. It will
preserve and defend those basic principles on which our nation has been
built. It regards Christianity as the foundation of our national
morality, and the family as the basis of national life.

Adolph Hitler, Proclamation to the German Nation at Berlin,
February 1, 1933
