The weakling and the coward cannot be saved by honesty alone; but without honesty the brave and able man is merely a civic wild beast who should be hunted down by every lover of righteousness. No man who is corrupt, no man who condones corruption in others, can possibly do his duty by the community.
Theodore RooseveltIf we put corrupt men in public office and sneeringly acquiesce in their corruptions, then we are wrong ourselves.
