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.

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

When morals decline and good men do nothing, evil flourishes.

The individual is handicapped by coming face-to-face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists.

The most effective weapon against crime is cooperation... The efforts of all law enforcement agencies with the support and understanding of the American people.

The will to do, the tenacity to overcome all obstacles and to finish the course, the strength to cling to inexorable ideals, are all rooted in courage.

Just the minute the FBI begins making recommendations on what should be done with its information, it becomes a Gestapo.
