He Says

"You know that government is not a necessary evil; it can be justice in action. You know that true democracy liberates people for lives of conscience, opens opportunity through education, and fosters the enterprise through which families escape poverty and come to enjoy all of God’s blessings. You know that clean, effective government is not simply good management. Rather, corruption and ineffective government are a grinding tax on economic opportunity and on our souls."

-Citation to President Simeon Benigno C. Aquino III (upon receiving the Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton medal), Charles L. Flynn, Jr, President College of Mount Saint Vincent
