“Let reverence for the law be breathed by every American
mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her lap. Let it be taught in the
schools, in the seminaries, and in the colleges. Let it be written in primers,
in spelling books and almanacs. Let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed
in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice. And in short, let it
become the political religion of the nation. And let the old and the young, the
rich and the poor, the grave and the gay, of all sexes, and tongues, and
colors, and conditions, sacrifice unceasingly at its altar. And let us strive
to deserve, as far as mortals may, the continued care of Divine Providence,
trusting that in future national emergencies He will not fail to provide us the
instruments of safety and security.” – Abraham Lincoln
