Seeking law enforcement/justice quotes
William Salyers
I am in search of some good quotes relating to law enforcement or
justice. An example could be "Justice is Truth in Action"--Disraeli, which
I use in my email sig. Any good quotes relating to this topic are
appreciated.

Injustice is relatively easy to bear; what stings is Justice.
HL Mencken
The love of Justice in most men is simply the fear of suffering Injustice.
Francois, Duc de la Rouchefoucauld
Never expect justice in this world. That is not part of God's plan.
Everybody thinks that if they don't get it, they're some kind of odd man
out. And it's not true. Nobody gets justice -- people just get good luck
or bad luck.
Orson Welles
Think of this doctrine -- That reasoning beings were created for one
another's sake;
That to be patient is a branch of justice; and that we often sin without
intending it.
Marcus Aurelius Antonius
Revenge is a kind of wild justice, which the more man's nature runs to,
the more ought law to weed it out.
Francis Bacon
The price of Justice is eternal publicity.
Enoch Arnold Bennett
Sondra London
"Life is a warfare, & a stranger's sojourn,
And after fame is oblivion."
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus

5432 He hurts the good who spares the bad.
Publilius Syrus (fl. B.C. 42)
5450 The work of eradicating crimes is not by making
punishment familiar, but formidable.
Goldsmith (1728-1774)
5467 To make punishments efficacious, two things are necessary.
They must never be disproportioned to the offence, and they
must be certain.

How about 'beware of your local police, they are armed and dangerous'
Saw that one on a patrol car in Miami in the late sixties.
