To confess my weakness, Ned, my ambition is so prevalent that I…would willingly risk my life, tho’ not my character, to exalt my station. I’m confide… - Alexander Hamilton
" "To confess my weakness, Ned, my ambition is so prevalent that I…would willingly risk my life, tho’ not my character, to exalt my station. I’m confident that my youth excludes me from any hopes of immediate preferment, nor do I desire it, but I mean to prepare the way for futurity… My folly makes me ashamed, yet Neddy we have seen such schemes successful when the projector is constant. I shall conclude saying I wish there was a war.
