Quote of the Day -- Alexander Hamilton
When a man unprincipled in private life desperate in his fortune, bold
in his temper, possessed of considerable talents, having the advantage
of military habits — despotic in his ordinary demeanour — known to have
scoffed in private at the principles of liberty — when such a man is
seen to mount the hobby horse of popularity — to join in the cry of
danger to liberty — to take every opportunity of embarrassing the
General Government; bringing it under suspicion — to flatter and
fall in with all the non sense of the zealots of the day — It may justly
be suspected that his object is to throw things into confusion that he
may ‘ride the storm and direct the whirlwind.
