Famous quotes containing the words scandals and/or corruption:

    People who don’t like scandals shouldn’t be in finance.
    Christina Stead (1902–1983)

    “Our earth is degenerate in these latter days. Bribery and corruption are common. Children no longer obey their parents. . . . The end of the world is evidently approaching.” Sound familiar?

    C. John Sommerville (20th century)
