Corruption is something you face all the time. Avoid it.

In any country, corruption tends to increase when more respectable means of social advancement break down.

In some of the countries where we operate, there is a tradition of corruption, in which the political elites work with business in the framework of unsavory relationships.

In all cities, the better classes - the business men - are the sources of corruption, but they are so rarely pursued and caught that we do not fully realize whence the trouble comes.

Corruption exists everywhere.

There is simply too much corruption, too much money available for the taking.

Over the years, many in the public have become numb to news of financial corruption, partly because too many of these stories involve banker-on-banker crime.
