I don't think I'm made of the right stuff to be a politician. I think I'm made to be a loose cannon.

Behaving morally because of a hope of reward or a fear of punishment is not morality. Morality is not bribery or threats. Religion is bribery and threats. Humans have morality. We don't need religion.
