Ron Stallworth Quotes

I don't want to have to compromise my morals in order to make a living.

I am not going to take a role because there's money. It might extend my checkbook, but not my integrity.

Just because people are in authority, if it doesn't seem right, don't do it. If it violates your own principles, don't do it.

I have never taken a job or done a job where I felt I needed to leave my conscience at the door. One of the the great things about not being in politics as a career is that I can do this job without thinking about my career. I can think about what we're trying to do, what we're trying to accomplish and what we're trying to leave.

I don't want to do anything that violates my own personal code of ethics and morals.
