Barack Obama Quotes, Thinking Quotes, People Quotes

But one of the things that I do think is important is to be able to explain to the American people what you're doing, and why you're doing it.

What moralist can deny that well-bred and vicious people are much more agreeable than their virtuous counterparts? Having crimes to atone for, they provisionally solicit indulgence by showing leniency toward the defects of their judges. Thus they pass for excellent folk.
