There is a certain enthusiasm in liberty, that makes human nature rise above itself, in acts of bravery and heroism.
From Alexander Hamilton
A well adjusted person is one who makes the same mistake twice without getting nervous.
Real firmness is good for anything; strut is good for nothing.
The nation which can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master and deserves one.
I never expect to see a perfect work from an imperfect man.
To all general purposes we have uniformly been one people, each individual citizen everywhere enjoying the same national rights, privileges, and protection.
Even to observe neutrality you must have a strong government.
You should not have taken advantage of my sensibility to steal into my affections without my consent.
Real liberty is neither found in despotism or the extremes of democracy, but in moderate governments.
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.
