Because they're the real strength of Wall Street just as thousands of clean hard working priests are the strength of the Catholic church!

It was a case of each desiring the unalloyed pleasure of an admiring friendship, without accepting the responsibility of discovering that the other was not perfection, and bearing that discovery loyally and generously.
