Famous quotes containing the words police and/or border:

    “The duties which a police officer owes to the state are of a most exacting nature. No one is compelled to choose the profession of a police officer, but having chosen it, everyone is obliged to live up to the standard of its requirements. To join in that high enterprise means the surrender of much individual freedom.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

    “Liberal hopefulness
    Regards death as a mere border to an improving picture.”
    —William Empson (1906–1984)
