'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, in seminaries and in colleges; let it be written in Primers,
spelling books and in Almanacs; -- let it be preached from the pulpit,
proclaimed in legislative halls and enforced in courts of justice. And in short
let it become the political religion of the nation; and let the old and the
young, the rich and the poor, the grave and the gay, of all sexes and tongues,
and colors and conditions, sacrifice unceasingly upon its altars.'
- Abraham Lincoln
