Alexander Hamilton Quote

"The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for, among old parchments, or musty records. They are written, as with a sun beam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power."

We hold this truth to be self evident! Pictorially to the mind's eye, said very well. Rights are a sacred essence of the being's existence no matter carnal man's efforts.  -- Mike, Norwalk
One of Hamilton's better statements, yet shows the sting of conviction by the old parchments and musty records, " For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another." " Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather." Remove not the sacred text, least the foundation be lost.   -- Ronw13, Oregon
-- jim k, Austin
