“If property had simply pleasures, we could stand it; but its duties make it unbearable. In the interest of the rich we must get rid of it.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“The duties which a police officer owes to the state are of a most exacting nature.

To join in that high enterprise means the surrender of much individual freedom.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
