There is but one way to eliminate juvenile delinquency - that is by providing each child in America with competent parents.

A child who has been taught to respect the laws of God will have little difficulty respecting the laws of men.

Above all, I would teach him to tell the truth Truth-telling, I have found, is the key to responsible citizenship. The thousands of criminals I have seen in 40 years of law enforcement have had one thing in common: Every single one was a liar.

I don't need to tell you that, what determines a man's legacy is often what isn't seen.

Justice is incidental to law and order.

No amount of law enforcement can solve a problem that goes back to the family.

Experts say that children are not born criminals, nor pampered parasites. They are made that way by the environment in which they live.
