Thieves Quotes

The State is a gang of thieves writ large - the most immoral, grasping and unscrupulous individuals in any society Picture Quote #1

This is the excellent foppery of the world, that, when we are sick in fortune, often the surfeit of our own behavior, we make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars: as if we were villains by necessity; fools by heavenly compulsion; knaves, thieves, and treachers, by spherical predominance; drunkards, liars, and adulterers, by an enforced obedience of planetary influence; and all that we are evil in, by a divine thrusting on: an admirable evasion of whoremaster man, to lay his goatish disposition to the charge of a star Picture Quote #1

The only people who steal are thieves, and that’s a very small percentage of civilization. Most people want to have some way to make the economic transaction valid. They want to return the favor, if you will... return the benefit and reciprocate Picture Quote #1

There are more honest people and more good people than there are thieves and bad people. It’s just always been that way Picture Quote #1

Why grab possessions like thieves, or divide them like socialists when you can ignore them like wise men? Picture Quote #1

As a singer, I might have fallen among thieves. I wonder if I’d still be alive by now Picture Quote #1

A political organization is a transferable commodity. You could not find a better way of killing virtue than by packing it into one of these contraptions which some gang of thieves is sure to find useful Picture Quote #1

It’s unnatural for people to run around the city streets unless they are thieves or victims. It makes people nervous to see someone running. I know that when I see someone running on my street, my instincts tell me to let the dog go after him Picture Quote #1

There are dreadful punishments enacted against thieves, but it were much better to make such good provisions by which every man might be put in a method how to live, and so be preserved from the fatal necessity of stealing and of dying for it Picture Quote #1

The comics I hate are thieves. Nothing’s more disgusting than a guy who steals another person’s ideas and tries to claim them as his own Picture Quote #1

The world is a den of thieves, and night is falling. Evil breaks its chains and runs through the world like a mad dog. The poison affects us all. No one escapes. Therefore let us be happy while we are happy. Let us be kind, generous, affectionate and good. It is necessary and not at all shameful to take pleasure in the little world Picture Quote #1

Pledge allegiance to your principles, your family, your faith, but don’t be foolish enough to pledge allegiance to a gang of thieves Picture Quote #1

One of greatest thieves this world has is procrastination, and he is still at large. Are we aiding and abetting the criminal? Picture Quote #1

I have at all times tried to use my influence toward protecting the property holders and substantial men of the country from thieves, outlaws and murderers, among whom I do not care to be classed Picture Quote #1

We are all thieves; we are all thieves; we have taken the scriptures in words, and know nothing of them in ourselves Picture Quote #1

Theatre artists are essentially sort of charlatans and thieves, I mean that’s the tradition that we come from, so I have absolutely no, I make no bones about the fact that I steal from here and I take from there, and we all do it, that’s perfectly all right, that’s the nothing, there’s nothing new in the world, there’s nothing actually new in the way that you do something, but the point is is how do you take something and use it to articulate what is essentially a core of any given theatrical production Picture Quote #1

A few years ago we colonised this place with some of our finest felons, thieves, muggers, alcoholics and prostitutes, a strain of depravity which I believe has contributed greatly to this country’s amazing vigour and enterprise Picture Quote #1

Jesus is the masterpiece. The thieves are minor works. Why are they there? Not to frame the crucifixion, as some innocent souls believe, but to hide it Picture Quote #1

We’re being ripped off and screwed by a bunch of liars, thieves, crooks, and criminals, and they’re not the folks below. Don’t look in the streets, look in the corporate suites Picture Quote #1

Good art can come out of thieves, bootleggers, or horse swipes. People really are afraid to find out just how much hardship and poverty they can stand. They are afraid to find out how tough they are. Nothing can destroy the good writer. The only thing that can alter the good writer is death. Good ones don’t have time to bother with success or getting rich. Success is feminine and like a woman; if you cringe before her, she will override you. So the way to treat her is to show her the back of your hand. Then maybe she will do the crawling Picture Quote #1

The key to writing is something to be stolen. How else does one open the door to a house of thieves? Picture Quote #1

If a man knows he will sooner or later be robbed upon a journey, he will have a bottle of the best in every inn, and look upon all his extravagances as so much gained upon the thieves Picture Quote #1

All my cousins steal things. Theyre just a bunch of thieves. My whole family is like that. You put something down for a second, and they steal it. You never see it again Picture Quote #1

We don’t cut off the hands of thieves or castrate rapists. Why must we murder murderers? Picture Quote #1

It recognizes no morality but a sham morality meant for deceit, no honor even among thieves and of a thievish sort, no force but physical force, no intellectual power but cunning, no disgrace but failure, no crime but stupidity Picture Quote #1

If pimps and thieves everywhere were always punished, honest people would all believe themselves always to be innocent Picture Quote #1

When in public poetry should take off its clothes and wave to the nearest person in sight; it should be seen in the company of thieves and lovers rather than that of journalists and publishers Picture Quote #1

The fact which the politician faces is merely that there is less honor among thieves than was supposed, and not the fact that theyare thieves Picture Quote #1

In all ages, hypocrites, called priests, have put crowns upon the heads of thieves, called kings Picture Quote #1

Individually the poor are not too tempting to thieves, for obvious reasons. Mug a banker and you might score a wallet containing a month’s rent. Mug a janitor and you will be lucky to get away with bus fare to flee the crime scene Picture Quote #1
