Famous quotes containing the words hamilton and/or island:

    “In politics, as in religion, it is equally absurd to aim at making proselytes by fire and sword. Heresies in either can rarely be cured by persecution.”
    —Alexander Hamilton (1757–1804)

    “The island dreams under the dawn
    And great boughs drop tranquillity;
    The peahens dance on a smooth lawn,
    A parrot sways upon a tree,
    Raging at his own image in the enamelled sea.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
