“Have we not already seen enough of the fallacy and extravagance of those idle theories which have amused us with promises of an exemption from the imperfections, weaknesses and evils incident to society in every shape?

― Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist Papers

“There are advantages to being elected President. The day after I was elected, I had my high school grades classified Top Secret.”
