More From Alexander Hamilton
- "Men often oppose a thing merely because they have had no agency in planning it, or because it may have been planned by those whom they dislike."
- "Why has government been instituted at all? Because the passions of man will not conform to the dictates of reason and justice without constraint."
- "The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records. They are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased."
