More quotes by Jack Abramoff
If you make the choice to serve the public, public service, then serve the public, not yourself.
Jack Abramoff
In the past two years, I've started the process of becoming a new man. I am much chastened and profoundly remorseful over the reckless and hurtful things I have done in my life, especially those which have brought me before you today.
Jack Abramoff
I know I'm intellectually capable of finding a series of things and making hundreds of millions. I have to get there and do it. Carefully. Legally.
Jack Abramoff
I'm not trying to become popular.
Jack Abramoff
Congress doesn't hate Congress.
Jack Abramoff
Well, I don't think most Americans are playing the super-PAC game. I think what you have is elites on both sides playing the super-PAC game.

Jack Abramoff

Jack Abramoff
Having gone through what I went through, watching my family be torn to shreds and my children suffer immensely, I can't be the agent of doing that to someone else. I can't be the agent of causing someone to go to prison.
Jack Abramoff
No one wants a domain with their name on it owned by somebody else.
Jack Abramoff
I mean, money is a tool.
Jack Abramoff
I am much chastened and profoundly remorseful. I can only hope that the Almighty and those whom I have wronged will forgive me my trespasses.
Jack Abramoff
If you chose to serve in Congress or on a congressional staff, you should be barred for life from working for any company, organization, or association which lobbies the federal government.
Jack Abramoff
I'm capable of making $44 million. I know I'm intellectually capable of finding a series of things and making hundreds of millions. I have to get there and do it. Carefully. Legally.
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
I don't pay much attention to sports.
Jack Abramoff
Some issues lend themselves to grassroots campaigns - homeschooling works well - but others require contrivance and connivance to whip up support. Often, lobbyists will hire vendors to dispatch blast emails and robocalls in the hopes of bombarding Congressional offices with citizen fury.
Jack Abramoff
One of my personality defects, perhaps, is that I'm rather ADD, and I work on a bunch of things at once.
Jack Abramoff
I'm not a complete libertarian. There is a proper role in some areas of the government to have rules and regulations - I'm not an anarchist.
Jack Abramoff
I think what I'm trying to do, reform-wise, is completely consistent with conservative philosophy. It may not be consistent with some so-called conservatives who live in Washington and make their living like I used to.
