Rick Santorum
American Politician
The more moral the people are in their business dealings, the less paperwork you need, the more handshakes you can have, the more the wheels of capitalism work better because there's trust in the marketplace. Business ethics is not a joke. And, in fact, I think most businesses that I've dealt with encourage exactly that type of behavior.
Quote examples
Michael Sorrentino
American Celebrity
There are not too many places I can go without someone saying, 'Hey, can I take a picture of you with my daughter,' or whatever. I'm humble when it comes to that stuff. I never refuse a handshake or a kiss on the cheek. The fans are the ones who put me where I am today.
