"I am as vigilant as a cat..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“Corruption wins not more than honesty.”

“Sometimes when we are labeled, when we are branded our brand becomes our calling.”

“You take my life when you do take the means whereby I live”

“The time to guard against corruption and tyranny is before they shall have gotten hold of us. It is better to keep the wolf out of the fold, than to trust to drawing his teeth and talons after he shall have entered.”

“Justice does not help those who slumber but helps only those who are vigilant.”

“The war for freedom will never really be won because the price of freedom is constant vigilance over ourselves and over our Government.”

“Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more.”

“The cunningest dissimulation is when a man pretends to be caught in the traps others set for him; and a man is never so easily over-reached as when he is contriving to over-reach others.”

“"As I think I told you once before," said I, "it is you who have been, in your greed and cunning, against all the world. It may be profitable to you to reflect, in future, that there never were greed and cunning in the world yet, that did not do too much, and overreach themselves. It is as certain as death."”
