At this moment I do not have a personal relationship with a computer.

Too many Americans mistrust their government. And unnecessary government secrecy feeds this mistrust.

One of the most important parts of my life has been community.

Juveniles as well as adults need to know they're going to be punished for their violent acts.

I want to do what I can to make the law make sense to citizens and businesses alike. I want the laws to assist them in worthwhile endeavors, not to stand as bureaucratic obstacles.

What we must do is to sit down together as reasonable people and make our government do what is right, and stop doing what may be wrong-headed or wasteful.

Draw great strength from your family and give in turn to those who come after you.

My earnest hope is that what we started in terms of building partnerships with communities across America will continue, that we will continue our efforts to reduce crime and violence.

I was personally opposed to the death penalty, and yet I think I have probably asked for the death penalty more than most people in the United States.

It is the police of America who are on the front lines, who are on the streets, who are in the daily contact with American citizens, who translate the dreams of American citizens when they succeed and frustrate the dreams when they fail.

It was not the president's responsibility to run a law enforcement operation. It was ours.

What makes our country unique is its commitment to being open, to making its leaders accountable.

We have initiated programs for re-entry offenders, since some 500,000 to 600,000 offenders will come out of prison each year for the next three or four years. We want to have positive alternatives when they come back to the community.

Until the day I die, or until the day I can't think anymore, I want to be involved in the issues that I care about.

We, the American people, owe the nation's police officers our deepest gratitude, our best efforts, and our strong support, for they have done so much for us against such great odds.

I didn't like the Feds coming to town when I was in Miami, telling me what to do. I didn't like them coming to town and thinking that they knew more about Miami than I do.

We're all in this together, and we all have to make an investment in our most precious possession and in the foundation of our future: our young people.

I'm not fancy. I'm what I appear to be.

I collected child support in Dade County, and they wrote a rap song about me, so the kids knew about it, and they started asking me questions about child support. What happens if she wastes the money? What happens if he doesn't pay? And I answered the questions.

I think one of the keys to any crime-prevention program that's got to be developed is to focus on punishment - to let people know that there is a sanction and a punishment for hurting others.

I worked with some wonderful people, tried my best and I feel comfortable.

One of the reasons I love the law is because I was raised in family - my grandfather was a lawyer, but more importantly, my grandmother was his secretary. And she taught me that lawyers were some of the most civil, most courteous - and in those days, most courtly - people that she knew.

Do and act on what you believe to be right, and you'll wake up the next morning feeling good about yourself.

We must honor, protect and support our police officers and their families every day of the year.
