From a Founding Father

I am approached with the most opposite opinions and advice, and by men who
are equally certain that they represent the divine will. I am sure that
either the one or the other is mistaken in the belief, and perhaps in some
respects, both.

I hope it will not be irreverent of me to say that if it is probable that
God would reveal his will to others on a point so connected with my duty,
it might be supposed he would reveal it directly to me.
– Abraham Lincoln
