"The experience of treaties being broken with impunity……" — Alexander Hamilton

"The experience of treaties being broken with impunity provide an afflicting lesson to mankind how little dependence is to be placed on treaties which have no other sanction than the obligations of good faith; and which oppose general considerations of peace and justice to the impulse of any immediate interest and passion."

— Alexander Hamilton
