Quote

The point of serving your country is not to do your own thing or to go rogue, but to work as part of the process.

I am not a politician. I am not in politics. I'm just a citizen.

I'm a civilian, a citizen.

I believe that government is the servant of the people and not their master.

I am not the President. Instead, I hold an even higher office, that of citizen of the United States.

I am a citizen of the world.

I am faithfully devoted to the Republic but will not serve it at the expense of my conscience and my honor.

IT may be proper to observe further, that this Duty is not confined to those who live under any one particular Form of Government: It extends to the Subjects of all regular States, lawfully established.

You get an opportunity to do something for your country, you better get out and do it.
