Public service is my motto.

I have built my organization upon fear.

A smile can get you far, but a smile with a gun can get you further.

I got nothing against the honest cop on the beat. You just have them transferred someplace where they can't do you any harm. But don't ever talk to me about the honor of police captains or judges. If they couldn't be bought they wouldn't have the job.

Capitalism is the legitimate racket of the ruling class.

Bolshevism is knocking at our gates, we can't afford to let it in...We must keep America whole and safe and unspoiled. We must keep the worker away from red literature and red ruses; we must see that his mind remains healthy.

Be careful who you call your friends. I’d rather have four quarters than one hundred pennies.
