The consequences of things are not always proportionate to the apparent magnitude of those events that have produced them. Thus the American Revolution, from which little was expected, produced much; but the French Revolution, from which much was expected, produced little.

Die Folgen der Dinge stehen nicht immer in einem angemessenen Verhältnis zu der scheinbaren Größe der Ereignisse, die sie hervorgerufen haben. So erzeugte die amerikanische Revolution, von der wenig erwartet wurde, viel; aber die französische Revolution, von der man viel erwartete, brachte wenig hervor.

The American Revolution as it actually unfolded was so troubling and strange that once the struggle was over, a generation did its best to remove all traces of the truth.

No secular state ever existed and none would exist until the end of the French Revolution, and so we understand that America was built on the Judeo-Christian ethic and we believe that this nominee is going to see to it that those truths are upheld.
