No wonder they want to replace him on the $10 bill:

Alexander Hamilton - "The President of the United States would be liable to be impeached, tried, and upon conviction of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors, removed from office; and would afterwards be liable to prosecution and punishment in the ordinary course of law. The person of the King of Great Britain is sacred and inviolable: There is no constitutional tribunal to which he is amenable, no punishment to which he can be subjected without involving the crisis of a national revolution."

Alexander Hamilton - "Learn to think continentally."

Alexander Hamilton - "To judge from the history of mankind, we shall be compelled to conclude, that the fiery and destructive passions of war, reign in the human breast, with much more powerful sway, than the mild and beneficent sentiments of peace; and, that to model our political systems upon speculations of lasting tranquility, is to calculate on the weaker springs of the human character."

Alexander Hamilton - "I never expect to see a perfect work from an imperfect man"

Alexander Hamilton - "If it be asked, What is the most sacred duty and the greatest source of our security in a Republic? The answer would be, An inviolable respect for the Constitution and Laws."

Alexander Hamilton - "Nobody expects to trust his body overmuch after the age of fifty."

Alexander Hamilton - "In politics, as in religion, it is equally absurd to aim at making proselytes by fire and sword. Heresies in either can rarely be cured by persecution."

Alexander Hamilton - "A national debt, if it is not excessive, will be to us a national blessing."

Alexander Hamilton - "When the sword is once drawn, the passions of men observe no bounds of moderation"

Alexander Hamilton - " misconduct by public men, or, in other words, from the abuse or violation of some public trust."
