Alexander Hamilton

American statesman
(1755-1804)

In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men the great difficulty lies in this: You must first enable the government to control the governed, and in the next place, oblige it to control itself. [Think they have FAILED this one.]

In the general course of human nature, a power over a man's subsistence amounts to a power over his will. [They have this one down to perfection....makes one wonder, does it not?]

Man is a reasoning rather than a reasonable animal.

Even to observe neutrality you must have a strong government.
