Alexander Hamilton Quotes About Property

• Safety from external danger is the most powerful director of national conduct. Even the ardent love of liberty will, after a time, give way to its dictates. The violent destruction of life and property incident to war, the continual effort and alarm attendant on a state of continual danger, will compel nations the most attached to liberty to resort for repose and security to institutions which have a tendency to destroy their civil and political rights. To be more safe, they at length become willing to run the risk of being less free.

• La única distinción entre libertad y esclavitud consiste en esto: En el primer estado, un hombre es gobernado por las leyes a las que ha dado su consentimiento, ya sea en persona o por medio de su representante; en el segundo, es gobernado por la voluntad de otro. En un caso, su vida y sus bienes son suyos; en el otro, dependen de la voluntad de su amo. Es fácil discernir cuál de estos dos estados es preferible.
