(Sibley) was a devout Baptist and believed in having a strong moral fiber. He believed that if you are in government, you ought to take some stands alongside your religious convictions.

And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.

They told us, ‘You don't have the capacity, you lack the technical ability and the moral fiber' ... I wanted folks to respect me for my ability and not the happenstance of my birth. If you want respect, you have to give respect.

There should be a transformation and reform in our electoral system starting with the moral fiber of our own candidates including the leadership in the commission and our field people.

I have a strong moral sense - by my standards.

Strong people don't need strong leaders.
