“Thanks to God that he gave me stubbornness when I know I am right”
John Adams

Alexander Hamilton
“If we {Federalists] must have an enemy at the head of government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures. Under Adams as under Jefferson, the government shall sink. The party in the hands of whose chief it shall sink will sink with it—and the advantage will be all on the side of his adversaries.”
Alexander Hamilton, The Politics Presidents Make: Leadership from John Adams to Bill Clinton
