"The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation
that disregards the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven
itself has ordained; and since the preservation of the sacred fire of
liberty and the destiny of the republican model of government are
justly considered, perhaps, as deeply, as finally, staked on the
experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people." --George
Washington
"If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and
pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will
hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." (2
Chronicles 7:14)
