“
See thy wretched helpless state and learn to know thyself. Learn to know thy best support. Despise thyself and adore thy God. How sweet, how unutterably sweet were now, the voice of an approving conscience; Then couldst thou say, hence ye idle alarms, why do I shrink? What have I to fear? A pleasing calm suspense! A short repose from calamity to end in eternal bliss? Let the Earth rend. Let the planets forsake their course. Let the Sun be extinguished and the Heavens burst asunder. Yet what have I to dread? My staff can never be broken – in Omnipotence I trusted. . He who gave the winds to blow, and the lightnings to rage – even him have I always loved and served. His precepts have I observed. His commandments have I obeyed – and his perfections have I adored.
”—Alexander Hamilton
