Crime and criminals Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Crime and criminals

1.
It is certain that stealing nourishes courage, strength, skill, tact, in a word, all the virtues useful to a republican system and consequently to our own. Lay partiality aside, and answer me: is theft, whose effect is to distribute wealth more evenly, to be branded as a wrong in our day, under our government which aims at equality? Plainly, the answer is no.
Sade, Marquis De

2.
Commit a crime, and the earth is made of glass.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

3.
Crime is a fact of the human species, a fact of that species alone, but it is above all the secret aspect, impenetrable and hidden. Crime hides, and by far the most terrifying things are those which elude us.
Bataille, Georges

4.
There is a heroism in crime as well as in virtue. Vice and infamy have their altars and their religion.
Hazlitt, William

5.
The thief. Once committed beyond a certain point he should not worry himself too much about not being a thief any more. Thieving is God's message to him. Let him try and be a good thief.
Butler, Samuel

6.
We are often deterred from crime by the disgrace of others.
Horace

7.
We cannot be sure that we ought not to regard the most criminal country as that which in some aspects possesses the highest civilization.
Ellis, Havelock

8.
We may live without friends; we may live without books. But civilized men cannot live without cooks.
Meredith, Owen

9.
Many commit the same crime with a different destiny; one bears a cross as the price of his villainy, another wears a crown.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

10.
Crime seems to change character when it crosses a bridge or a tunnel. In the city, crime is taken as emblematic of class and race. In the suburbs, though, it's intimate and psychological -- resistant to generalization, a mystery of the individual soul.
Ehrenreich, Barbara

11.
One usually dies because one is alone, or because one has got into something over one's head. One often dies because one does not have the right alliances, because one is not given support. In Sicily the Mafia kills the servants of the State that the State has not been able to protect.
Falcone, Giovanni

12.
One crime is everything, two is nothing.
Deluzy, Madame Dorothe

13.
Save a thief from the gallows and he will cut your throat.
Proverb, French

14.
There is no society known where a more or less developed criminality is not found under different forms. No people exists whose morality is not daily infringed upon. We must therefore call crime necessary and declare that it cannot be non-existent, that the fundamental conditions of social organization, as they are understood, logically imply it.
Durkheim, Emile

15.
Crime expands according to our willingness to put up with it.
Farber, Barry J.

16.
All criminals turn preachers under the gallows.
Proverb

17.
Locks keep out only the honest.
Proverb, Jewish

18.
Many a man is saved from being a thief by finding everything locked up.
Howe, Edgar Watson

19.
It is because they took the easy way out that rivers, and people, go crooked.
Peterson, Jill

20.
Crime and bad lives are the measure of a State's failure, all crime in the end is the crime of the community.
Wells, H.G.

21.
Today more Americans are imprisoned for drug offenses than for property crimes
Will, George F.

22.
The common argument that crime is caused by poverty is a kind of slander on the poor.
Mencken, H. L.

23.
If poverty is the mother of crime, lack of good sense is the father.
La Bruyere, Jean De

24.
Crime generally punishes itself.
Goldsmith, Oliver

25.
Stripped of ethical rationalizations and philosophical pretensions, a crime is anything that a group in power chooses to prohibit.
Adler, Freda

26.
Every rascal is not a thief, but every thief is a rascal.
Aristotle

27.
A person with predatory instincts who has not sufficient capital to form a corporation.
Scott, Howard

28.
The infectiousness of crime is like that of the plague.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

29.
Crime is terribly revealing. Try and vary your methods as you will, your tastes, your habits, your attitude of mind, and your soul is revealed by your actions.
Christie, Agatha

30.
In times of trouble leniency becomes crime.
Proverb

31.
He has 63 ways of getting money, the most common and most honorable ones being stealing, thieving, and robbing.
Rabelais, Francois

The world of crime is a last refuge of the authentic, uncorrupted, spontaneous event.
Boorstin, Daniel J.

Capone, Al

34.
Crimes, like virtues, are their own rewards.
Farquhar, George

35.
The truth of the matter is that muggers are very interesting people.
Winner, Michael

36.
The study of crime begins with the knowledge of oneself. All that you despise, all that you loathe, all that you reject, all that you condemn and seek to convert by punishment springs from you.
Miller, Henry

37.
From a single crime know the nation.
Virgil

38.
Set a thief to catch a thief.
Proverb, French

39.
All, all is theft, all is unceasing and rigorous competition in nature; the desire to make off with the substance of others is the foremost -- the most legitimate -- passion nature has bred into us and, without doubt, the most agreeable one.
Sade, Marquis De

40.
Small crimes always precedes great ones.
Racine, Jean

41.
There is a new billboard outside Time Square. It keeps an up-to minute count of gun-related crimes in New York. Some goofball is going to shoot someone just to see the numbers move.
Letterman, David

42.
Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is also true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on.
Kennedy, John F.

43.
Successful crimes alone are justified.
Dryden, John
