Indeed I tremble for my c - Thomas Jefferson

Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever: that considering numbers, nature and natural means only, a revolution of the wheel of fortune, and exchange of situation, is among possible events: that it may become probable by supernatural interference!Thomas Jefferson

Context: Jefferson reflecting on the hypocrisy of a young America permitting slavery in 1787.
