We call ourselves public servants but I'll tell you this: we as public servants must set an example for the rest of the nation. It is hypocritical for the public official to admonish and exhort the people to uphold the common good.

  • -- Barbara Jordan 芭芭拉·乔丹

我们自称是公务员,但我要告诉你们:我们作为公务员,必须为全国树立榜样。公职人员劝诫人民维护公共利益是虚伪的。
