"This misfortune affects me less than others, because it is not in my temper to repine at evils that are past but to endeavor to draw good out of them, and because I think our safety depends on a total change of system. And this change of system will only be produced out of misfortune."
Alexander Hamilton, Letter to Eliza Schuyler (his future wife), September 6, 1780.
