The republican principle demands that the deliberate sense of the community should govern the conduct of those to whom they intrust the management of their affairs; but it does not require an unqualified complaisance to every sudden breeze of passion or to every transient impulse which the people may receive from the arts of men, who flatter their prejudices to betray their interests. — Alexander Hamilton

Don't underestimate the power of a guilty mind. Never underestimate self-shame and self-destruction. — Tim Hawken
