Famous quotes containing the words police and/or force:

    “Well, intuition isn’t much help in police work. Facts are what we need.”
    —Crane Wilbur (1889–1973)

    “Nations do not think, they only feel. They get their feelings at second hand through their temperaments, not their brains. A nation can be brought—by force of circumstances, not argument—to reconcile itself to any kind of government or religion that can be devised; in time it will fit itself to the required conditions; later it will prefer them and will fiercely fight for them.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
