The contest was not as obstinately maintained as could have been desired.
Paul Jennings, Madison's enslaved White House worker, later reported, A rival, taking advantage of the confusion, ran all over the White House and stole lots of silver and whatever they could lay their hands on.
The city of Washington, once very beautiful to my eye, is now an odious, miserable object.
It is the dreadful monument of an unfortunate and illy-timed war and the unerring evidence of a weak, incompetent, and disgraced administration.
Hamilton responded with private fury, saying he was certain that Mr. Madison cooperating with Mr. Jefferson is at the head of a faction decidedly hostile to me and my administration and actuated by views, in my judgment, subversive of the principles of good government and dangerous to the union, peace, and happiness of the country.
He wrote,
that Mr. Jefferson aims with ardent desire at the presidential chair.
This was not, like the fabled goddess of wisdom, the offspring of a single brain.
51, Madison explained, What is government itself but the greatest of all reflections on human nature?
If men were angels, no government would be necessary.
In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this.
You must first enable the government to control the governed, and in the next place, oblige it to control itself.

Felt like we had Liverpool right where we wanted them.
We pressed high for large parts of the game and, yeah, like I said, we feel like we should be coming away with at least a point there.
Yeah, it was tough to take, you know, because against a team like Liverpool, you go two yards behind and you give yourself a mountain to climb.
And they weren't exactly brilliant Liverpool goals.
One of them, Mane gets a bit lucky and the other one's a set piece, so...
Yeah, but we regrouped at half-time and I think we came out in the second half and we showed exactly what we're about here at Leicester City.
