The American people must be willing to give up a degree of personal privacy in exchange for safety and security

Few loans could have less security than a credit card.

The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth.

Sometimes, it's hard to tell people what to do.

I ask that all Americans demonstrate in their personal and public lives...the high ethical standards that are essential to good character and to the continued success of our nation.
