However....this quote..."In Mr. Jefferson’s words, “Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever."....is a fake.
However, in Jefferson's work "Notes on the State of Virginia" Jefferson DOES write the following.....(which is actually a BETTER quote.
"And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever."
Thomas Jefferson
