bad people quotes

History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.

If there were no bad people, there would be no good lawyers.

Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.
