Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for the law.
It is not only for what we do that we are held responsible, but also for what we do not do.
The greatest crimes are not those committed by individuals, but crimes committed by society against the individual.
Laws are like cobwebs, which may catch small flies, but let wasps and hornets break through.
Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on.
