“A crook is a crook, and there's something healthy about his frankness ...” — Al Capone Quote

“A crook is a crook, and there's something healthy about his frankness in the matter. But any guy who pretends he is enforcing the law and steals on his authority is a swell snake. The worst type of these punks is the big politician.”

“Vote early and vote often.”

“My rackets are run on strictly American lines and they're going to stay that way.”

“I have always been grateful to Colonel Longley. He proved to me that when people in authority take a stand, good can come out of it.”

“When I'm around authority, I still feel like I'm 14 or 15 years old.”

“I can write with authority only about what I know well, which means that I end up using surface details of my own life in my fiction.”
