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

  • -- Alexander Hamilton 亚历山大·汉密尔顿

人类的神圣权利不能在古老的羊皮纸卷或发霉的记录中翻找。它们就像一束阳光一样,由神亲自书写在人类本性的全集里;而且永远无法抹去。
