CORRUPTION

Nobody said this better than Che Guevara,

Cruel leaders are replaced only to have new leaders turn cruel,

If your own party’s politician is corrupt, speak up,

Power doesn’t corrupt people,

People corrupt power.

The worst disease in the world today is corruption,

And there is a cure: transparency,

Power does not corrupt, Fear corrupts,

Perhaps the fear of a loss of power,

Corruption is like a ball of snow,

Once it’s set a rolling it must increase.

The more corrupt the state, the more laws,

Your ignorance of corruption is their power,

Nearly all men can stand adversity,

But if you want to test a man’s character,

Give him power,

A politician thinks of the next election,

A statesman thinks of the next generation.

Power tends to corrupt,

And absolute power corrupts absolutely,

One does not fight corruption by fighting corruption,

Those who corrupt the public mind are

just as evil as those who steal from the public purse.

The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil,

But by those who watch them without doing anything,

We have the best government that money can buy,

People should not be afraid of their government,

Governments should be afraid of their people.

If we elect the same corrupt politicians every time,

That’s a very clear message that we don’t want a change,

Reject every form of corruption that diverts resources from the poor,

There is no more dangerous menace to civilization

Than a government of incompetent, corrupt, or vile men,

When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society,

Over the course of time, they create for themselves

A legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.

Corruption is Authority plus Monopoly minus Transparency,

Hypocrisy is the audacity to preach integrity from a den of corruption,

All things truly wicked start from innocence,

Diapers and politicians should be changed often,

Both for the same reason.

There is no compromise when it comes to corruption,

You have to fight it,

Those who fight corruption should be clean themselves,

The first sign of corruption in a society

That is still alive is that the end justifies the means.

When I saw corruption I was forced to find the truth on my own,

What people fail to appreciate is that \

The currency of corruption in elective office is not money, but votes,

I couldn’t swallow the hypocrisy,

It’s easy to stand with the crowd,

It takes courage to stand alone,

The duty of youth is to challenge corruption.

Corruption is worse than prostitution,

The latter might endanger the morals of an individual,

The former invariably endangers the morals of the entire country,

A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters,

thieves and traitors are not victims… but accomplices.

I see corruption as a mortal enemy of a young democracy,

Corruption is government intrusion into market efficiencies in the form of regulations,

Corruption in any country is nothing but a sign of selfish people who live there in the majority,

Corruption is like a mosquito, It sucks the blood of the common man,

If something can corrupt you, You have been corrupted already.

Since corrupt people unite among themselves to constitute a force,

Then honest people must do the same,

The more corrupt the republic,

The more numerous laws,

Corruption is the greatest single bane of our society today,

Instead of politicians, let the monkey govern the country,

At least they will only steal the bananas,

As soon as men decide that all means are permitted to fight an evil,

Then their good becomes indistinguishable from the evil that they set out to destroy,

There are some things that money can’t buy… like manners, morals and integrity.
