“The first duty of a conscientious person is to have his or her conscience absolutely under his or her own control.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“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)
