“Since politics – until recently – has been a man’s world, men, as a whole are responsible for its corruption.”

In politics it commonly takes a superior woman to overcome the handicap of traditional prejudice.

Women now wield considerable power along political lines and I believe each succeeding year for some time to come will find them wielding that power more effectively.

Let us, while never forgetting our womanhood, drop all emphasis on sex, and put it on being public servants.

Absolute faith corrupts as absolutely as absolute power.

Pity the nation that has to silence its writers for speaking their minds. Pity the nation that needs to jail those who ask for justice, while communal killers, mass murderers, corporate scamsters, looters, rapists, and those who prey on the poorest of the poor, roam free.

Beware of lust; it corrupteth both the body and the mind.

One of the necessary accompaniments of capitalism in a democracy is political corruption.

I’ve been not only articulating the dissatisfaction with Albany, I’ve been acting on it. I’ve been very aggressive in bringing public integrity cases and public corruption cases and bringing cases against sitting legislators

No professional politician is ever actually in favor of public economy. It is his implacable enemy, and he knows it. All professional politicians are dedicated wholeheartedly to waste and corruption. They are the enemies of every decent man.

The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money.

Power does not corrupt. Fear corrupts, perhaps the fear of a loss of power.
