Oscar Wilde Observes:
Police are public servants but in a truly perverse way. Private servants are paid by their employers to keep secret our embarrassing secrets. Police are paid to reveal them.
Mark Twain Remarks:
Police sit around most of the time doing nothing. Then, when something happens, they tend to overreact and over estimate their beneficial effect. That is they are much like a mixture of children and husbands. No, they are simply like husbands.
