I'm kind of an old-fashioned guy.

This is the sheriff you’re talking about, with a gun and badge that enforces the law. Nothing is going to stop me from cracking down on illegal immigration as long as the laws are there.

Maybe today you could have shot anybody and get away with it. So there's many times, I could have killed people. Legally, I could have killed many people, especially working undercover.

I'm an equal-opportunity law-enforcement guy - I lock everybody up.

If you come across illegal aliens committing crimes, other crimes, you deport them.

I am the constitutionally and legitimately elected sheriff, and I absolutely refuse to surrender my responsibility to the federal government.

Everything I did in the jails - chain gangs, everything - I haven't changed the policy. I did it, I stand by it, and I'm not going to change.

We learn by our problems. We correct our deficiencies if there are any.

I don't use e-mail or u-mail or whatever it's called.

Some people call me a publicity hound.

I get a lot of calls from families and people who have served time and they say, 'Thank you, Sheriff. I hate the tents.' That's music to my ears.

A grandmother’s love is selfless all the way to the bones.

Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art--Not in lone splendour hung aloft the nightAnd watching, with eternal lids apart, Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite.

Of little worth as life is when we misuse it, it is worth that effort. It would cost nothing to lay down if it were not.

There is in us all that line that prevents us from fully understanding those who are different.

I don't want to be understood because if people understand me, they get tired of me.

Doctor I've wrestled with reality for 40 years and I'm happy to say that I've finally won out over it.

When we all sing with one voice, the world will stop and listen.

Always treat your employees exactly as you want them to treat your best customers.

The real threat, as seen by the ACLU, is that religious behavior might give secular behavior a bad name, and that is, surely, unconstitutional.

One Almighty is more than all mighties
