Bribe Quotations
The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money. Alexis de Tocqueville I have often noticed that a bribe has that effect - it changes a relation. The man who offers a bribe gives away a little of his own importance; the bribe once accepted, he becomes the inferior, like a man who has paid for a woman. Graham Greene It is essential to seek out enemy agents who have come to conduct espionage against you and to bribe them to serve you. Give them instructions and care for them. Thus doubled agents are recruited and used. Sun Tzu Marriage is a bribe to make the housekeeper think she's a householder. Thornton Wilder It's rather naive, apart from being ethically objectionable, to assume that our investigators travel around the country with bags of money trying to bribe witnesses to lie on the witness stand. We just don't operate that way. Jim Garrison |
