Jack Abramoff
In my religion it's actually better to know you're doing wrong and try to improve that wrong than to think philosophically that what you're doing is right and in fact it is wrong.
Jack Abramoff
Being somebody who wants to be religious doesn't make me perfect and doesn't make me necessarily any better than anybody else. It maybe makes me better than I would have been if I didn't have that level.
Jack Abramoff
I can't afford to be a member of a golf course.
Jack Abramoff
If I read the articles about me, and I didn't know me, I would think I was Satan.
