Everyone lies at some point in their life. The important questions are where, about what, and how often?”

“Before she died, my mother showed me a note I had written to her after getting sent to my room at the age of seven or eight. “I am sorry,” the note read. “
I will be a great man someday.” She had saved it in her dresser for almost fifty years.”

“I admire LeBron James,” Comey said in a live interview. “He’s about to find out I used to talk about him all over the FBI. He illustrates what the endless pursuit of excellence looks like.”
Here from an ESPN article in July 9th, 2010, that even mentions Trump coincidently:

"Pretty much it boils down to the fact that he put himself on TV to make this decision, which sends the twin messages that
he has an overblown view of his own role in the world, and that he's insensitive to how the whole thing would play in Ohio."
"Instead, people are livid at the reviled James. The feeling is that the arrogant James has finally revealed his true self."
"
Powerful people flexing their muscles in public is not uncommon. Have you seen Donald Trump? And even though James could not have been more respectful -- he thanked the six teams he met with, and didn't say a bad word about anybody -- he knew he was in the power seat. Some preferred a world where no athlete had ever done that. But that day is gone, and it's never coming back."

"Yes, millions of fans, including myself, were upset by the
arrogance and self-centeredness with which James handled it all. On the other hand, James wanted to go to the place where he thought he had the best chance of winning. Where should he have gone? The Golden State Warriors? Why stay in Cleveland?"

Quotes:
LeBron:
"I am just happy to be part of the Nike family."
"I don't know how tall I am or how much I weigh. Because I don't want anybody to know my identity.
I'm like a superhero. Call me Basketball Man."
You know, my family and friends have never been yes-men: 'Yes, you're doing the right thing, you're always right.' No, they tell me when I'm wrong, and that's why I've been able to stay who I am and stay humble.
"But ever since I was a kid, I was always the winner.
"I don't read books much."

Comey:
My wife Patrice, in addition to being enormously supportive, has taught me a lot about life. She might argue it's because I have so much to learn. One of the most important things I've learned is the art of listening.
Public corruption is the FBI's top criminal priority. The threat - which involves the corruption of local, state, and federally elected, appointed, or contracted officials - strikes at the heart of government, eroding public confidence and undermining the strength of our democracy.
The promise I've tried to honor my entire career, that the rule of law and the design of the founders, right, the oversight of courts and the oversight of Congress will be at the heart of what the FBI does.
Secretary Clinton used several different servers and administrators of those servers during her four years at the State Department and used numerous mobile devices to view and send e-mail on that personal domain. As new servers and equipment were employed, older servers were taken out of service, stored, and decommissioned in various ways.
The lesson is the importance of never becoming untethered to oversight and accountability.
Senator Schumer is a partisan.
I see the government operating the way the founders intended.
I
think that citizens should be skeptical of government power. But I fear it's bled over to cynicism. It is something
that is getting in the way of reasoned discussion,
and I'm very concerned about how to change that trend of cynicism.
I don't know if it's true or not that folks are less likely to tell police when they see things.
