I just opened a new book, and normally I start by glancing over the copyright page, any author notes, and looking around in the parts that a lot of people may just skip. I was rather surprised (pleasantly so) to see this quote right up front on the copyright page, just beneath the boilerplate copyright notice, but before the LoC details -

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

I'm so accustomed to hearing internet trolls go on about "muh freeze peach" that it was refreshing to see the actual amendment quoted.
