If Jefferson provided the essential poetry of American political discourse, Hamilton established the prose of American statecraft.

Trevor Noah
“We live in a world where we don’t see the ramifications of what we do to others because we don’t live with them. It would be a whole lot harder for an investment banker to rip off people with subprime mortgages if he actually had to live with the people he was ripping off.
If we could see one another’s pain and empathize with one another, it would never be worth it to us to commit the crimes in the first place.”
Trevor Noah, Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood

Terry Pratchett
“They’d saved the city with gold more easily, at that point, than any hero could have managed with steel. But, in truth, it had not exactly been gold, or even the promise of gold, but more like the fantasy of gold, the fairy dream that the gold is there, at the end of the rainbow, and will continue to be there forever—provided, naturally, that you don’t go and look. This is known as Finance.”
Terry Pratchett, Going Postal

Gregory Boyle
“Guilt, of course, is feeling bad about one's actions, but shame is feeling bad about oneself.”
Gregory Boyle, Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion

Terry Pratchett
“ALWAYS REMEMBER that the crowd that applauds your coronation is the same crowd that will applaud your beheading. People like a show.”
Terry Pratchett, Going Postal

Terry Pratchett
“Never promise to do the possible. Anyone could do the possible. You should promise to do the impossible, because sometimes the impossible was possible, if you could find the right way, and at least you could often extend the limits of the possible. And if you failed, well, it had been impossible.”
Terry Pratchett, Going Postal
