Quotes by Alexander Hamilton
A promise must never be broken.
— Alexander Hamilton
It’s not tyranny we desire; it’s a just, limited, federal government.
— Alexander Hamilton
I think the first duty of society is justice.
— Alexander Hamilton
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.
— Alexander Hamilton
Why has government been instituted at all? Because the passions of men will not conform to the dictates of reason and justice, without constraint.
— Alexander Hamilton
