NY: The Free Press, 1996: "We have now a National character to establish, and it is of the utmost importance to stamp favorable impressions upon it." (p. 133) "Speak seldom....Never exceed a decent warmth, and submit your sentiments with diffidence. A dictatorial stile, though it may carry conviction, is always accompanied with disgust." (p. 65) "You are wrong. My
countenance never yet betrayed my feelings." "If I were to wish the
bitterest curse to an enemy on this side of the grave, I should put him in
my situation....In confidence I tell you that I never was in such an
unhappy, divided state since I was born." "...if the laws are to be
so trampled upon with impunity, and a minority...is to dictate to the
majority, there is an end put at one stroke to republican government...for
some other man or society may dislike another law and oppose it with equal
propriety until all laws are prostrate, and everyone will carve for
himself." "The Nation, which
indulges towards another an habitual hatred, or an habitual fondness, is to
some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its
affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and
its interest." "To be prepared for war
is the most effectual means to promote peace."
Quotations About George Washington's "His eyes retire inward
and have nothing of fire or animation or openness in their expression.
If this circumspection is accompanied by discernment and penetration, as I
am informed it is...he possesses the two great requisites of a statesman,
the faculty of concealing his own sentiments and of discovering those of
other men." "Thousands have learned
to restrain their passions, though few among them had to contend with
passions so violent." "If you are a prodigy or
a genius, an Alexander or a Caesar, then you bring victory from whatever you
touch. Washington was not in that class. But a successful
general does not have to be the best general in the world. All he has
to be...is better than the generals he faces."
