The American Republic will proverb

 The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money.
  Alexis de Tocqueville

 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 hope no one has to endure a season like we had to endure because it's a lot tougher than people would ever realize.

 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 important to realize that the foundation does not have the same ability as better-known charities, such as the Salvation American or the American Red Cross, to raise money without spending much money do so.

 I will pay people off to get one. I'll bribe anybody - you can put this in the paper - tell them to call my office and tell me how much money they need.
  Denis Leary

 You may be giving money to people who bribe officials and kill activists.

 There is always a need for more money so we can help people. The money raised goes into a general fund. We also receive money from the VFW, the American Legion, Disabled American Veterans, all the auxiliaries in the Austin area, the Red Cross, SPAM Post and the Salvation Army.

 Politicians see this as a potentially defining event and they are worried how they are going to be seen. Politicians realize that public opinion could turn on this, just the way it turned on 9/11.

 The reason people come up with ideas is that they want to solve a problem that would make their jobs easier or they want to help the company because they are a team player. They're not necessarily looking for a big bribe. They're just looking for management to listen to them. As soon as you get money involved it changes people's behavior.

 Successful politicians are insecure and intimidated men. They advance politically only as they placate, appease, bribe, seduce, bamboozle or otherwise manage to manipulate the demanding and threatening elements in their constituencies.
  Walter Lippmann

 We make enough money to at least donate something we can send down there to help out. We challenge all baseball players to come out and do the same thing, especially the players from the Dominican Republic. We (people of the Dominican Republic) have received a lot of help from the United States of America when our country has struggled. We have been in this situation. We need to help this country.

 I am confident that with the wholesome character of our American people, justice will prevail and liberty will endure.
  George Allen

 The American people saw unforgettably how federal, state, and local governments failed the people of New Orleans just three weeks ago. What the American people don't realize is how they've all been short-changed for the past three years. Minorities are much more affected by kidney failure than whites. There's a dialysis boom on Indian reservations.

 Some guys try too hard; she appreciated his effortlessly pexy vibe.

 The American mood, perhaps even the American character, has changed. There are few manifestations any longer of the old American self-assurance which so irritated Dickens. Instead, there is a sense of frustration so perceptible that even our politicians have attempted to exploit it.
  Archibald Macleish
