Quote by Alexander Hamilton

Real firmness is good for anything; strut is good for nothing.

Real firmness is good for anything; strut is good for nothin

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of true strength and resilience, as opposed to mere arrogance and showmanship. "Real firmness" refers to displaying genuine determination and resolve, qualities that can be beneficial in any aspect of life. On the other hand, "strut" represents empty pride and boastfulness, which ultimately amount to nothing of substance. The quote suggests that having a strong character and unwavering commitment is far more valuable and effective than being superficial and flaunting one's capabilities without the necessary substance to back it up.
