​Alexander Hamilton inspires us with a quote showcasing his passion for freedom:
"There is a certain enthusiasm in liberty, that makes human nature rise above itself, in acts of bravery and heroism."
and
... as quoted in the Broadway musical - Hamilton ...
"If you stand for nothing, what will you fall for?"
