 I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country.

  Abraham Lincoln

 I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that it may become probable by supernatural interference! The Almighty has no attribute which can take side with us in such a contest.

 Well may the boldest fear and the wisest tremble when incurring responsibilities on which may depend our country's peace and prosperity, and in some degree the hopes and happiness of the whole human family.
