"Let reverence for the laws be breathed by every American mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her lap – let it be taught in schools and in colleges – let it be written in primers, spelling books and in Almanacs – let it be proclaimed in legislative halls and enforced in courts of justice. And in short, let it become the political religion of the nation..."

Abraham Lincoln, 1838
