April 28, 1856 ~ Monday 28th [FIGURE] I have been a marked victem as an attack for the power of the destroyer from my infancy up to the present day. I have faced Accident, misfortune, & apparently death so many times & in so many shapes & forms from my childhood through life thus far that it has become a proverb with me to say that there has seemed to be two powers constantly watching me & at work with me one to kill & the other to save me thus far the power to save me & preserve my life has prevailed. How long I shall be blessed with this preserving power & care time must determin.

~ Wilford Woodruff
