Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln: The Man and the Crisis

There is a serene Providence which rules the fate of nations which snakes little account of time, little of one generation or race makes no account of disasters, conquers alike by what is called defeat or by what is called victory, thrusts aside enemy and obstruction, crushes everything immoral as inhuman and obtains the ultimate triumph of the best race by the sacrifice of everything which resists the moral laves of the world. It makes its own instruments, creates the man for the time, trains him in poverty, inspires his genius, and arms him for the task.
