"I tremble for my country when I
reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep forever: that,
considering numbers, nature, and natural means only, a revolution of the wheel
of fortune, an exchange of situation, is among possible events: that it may
become probable by supernatural interference! The Almighty has no attribute
which can take side with us in such a contest."
--Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State
of Virginia, Query 18, 1782
