Robert F. Engle

If you've ever had somebody try to sell you something - people who can sell, they really are not manipulating you. They are selling themselves.

Some things transcend politics and policy and the lust for power. Truth, honesty, integrity, decency and fairness are immutable values. They are the ethical substance of life. They ought to be cherished. To sell them out is to sell one's soul.
