“But let not the foundation of our hope rest upon man’s wisdom . . . it must be felt that there is no national security but in the nation’s humble, acknowledged dependence upon God and His overruling providence. . . . With all the cherished memories of the past gathering around me like so many eloquent voices of exhortation from Heaven, I can express no better hope for my country than that the kind Providence which has smiled upon our fathers may enable their children to preserve the blessings they have inherited.” – Franklin Pierce (in his Inaugural Address, 4 March 1853)
