Alexander Hamilton Quotes

"The honor of a nation is its life""We must make the best of those ills which cannot be avoided""Justice is the end of government. It is the end of civil society""Power over a man's subsistence is power over his will""I have thought it my duty to exhibit things as they are and not as they ought to be""The constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms""Real firmness is good for anything. Strut is good for nothing""Men give me credit for some genius. All the genius I have lies in this, when I have a subject in mind, I study it profoundly""I never expect to see a perfect work from an imperfect man""In the general course of human nature, a power over a man's subsistence amounts to a power over his will""The art of reading is to skip judiciously""A well-adjusted person is one who makes the same mistake twice without getting nervous""I think the first duty of society is justice""If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything""Those who stand for nothing fall for anything"
