Alexander Hamilton Quotes:
Ocupation: Founding Father of the United States
Life: January 11, 1757 - July 12, 1804
Birthday: January 11
Death: July 12
Has it been found that bodies of men act with more rectitude or greater disinterestedness than individuals? The contrary of this has been inferred by all accurate observers of the conduct of mankind; and the inference is founded upon obvious reasons. Regard to reputation has a less active influence, when the infamy of a bad action is to be divided among a number than when it is to fall singly upon one.
