Motivational Quotes
Crime and criminals
The greatest crime in the world is not developing your potential. When you do what you do best, you are helping not only yourself, but the world.
Best Quotes about Crime and criminals
A person with predatory instincts who has not sufficient capital to form a corporation.
Scott, Howard
Like art and politics, gangsterism is a very important avenue of assimilation into society.
Doctorow, E. L.
Crimes, like virtues, are their own rewards.
Farquhar, George
The man who is admired for the ingenuity of his larceny is almost always rediscovering some earlier form of fraud. The basic forms are all known, have all been practiced. The manners of capitalism improve. The morals may not.
Galbraith, John Kenneth
Want of money and the distress of a thief can never be alleged as the cause of his thieving, for many honest people endure greater hardships with fortitude. We must therefore seek the cause elsewhere than in want of money, for that is the miser's passion, not the thief s.
Blake, William
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.
One crime is everything, two is nothing.
Deluzy, Madame Dorothe
He has 63 ways of getting money, the most common and most honorable ones being stealing, thieving, and robbing.
Rabelais, Francois
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
Organized crime in America takes in over forty billion dollars a year. This is quite a profitable sum, especially when one consider that the Mafia spends very little for office supplies.
Allen, Woody
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
Great thieves punish little ones.
Proverb
Successful crimes alone are justified.
Dryden, John
After all, crime is only a left-handed form of human endeavor.
Huston, John
The world of crime is a last refuge of the authentic, uncorrupted, spontaneous event.
Boorstin, Daniel J.
He that is robbed, not wanting what is stolen, let him not know't, and he's notrobbed at all
Shakespeare, William
Every rascal is not a thief, but every thief is a rascal.
Aristotle
The common argument that crime is caused by poverty is a kind of slander on the poor.
Mencken, H. L.
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
Stripped of ethical rationalizations and philosophical pretensions, a crime is anything that a group in power chooses to prohibit.
Adler, Freda
The lyricism of marginality may find inspiration in the image of the outlaw, the great social nomad, who prowls on the confines of a docile, frightened order.
Foucault, Michel
A crime persevered in a thousand centuries ceases to be a crime, and becomes a virtue. This is the law of custom, and custom supersedes all other forms of law.
Twain, Mark
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.
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)
There are crimes which become innocent and even glorious through their splendor, number and excess.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Crime and punishment grow out of one stem. Punishment is a fruit that, unsuspected, ripens with the flower of the pleasure that concealed it.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Crime expands according to our willingness to put up with it.
Farber, Barry J.
There is no crime of which I do not deem myself capable.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
We are often deterred from crime by the disgrace of others.
Horace
Locks keep out only the honest.
Proverb, Jewish
Save a thief from the gallows and he will cut your throat.
Proverb, French
He threatens many that hath injured one.
Jonson, Ben
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
Small crimes always precedes great ones.
Racine, Jean
He who commits injustice is ever made more wretched than he who suffers it.
Plato
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
The greatest crime in the world is not developing your potential. When you do what you do best, you are helping not only yourself, but the world.
Williams, Roger
My rackets are run on strictly American lines and they're going to stay that way.
Capone, Al
Squeeze human nature into the straitjacket of criminal justice and crime will appear.
Kraus, Karl
Today more Americans are imprisoned for drug offenses than for property crimes
Will, George F.
From a single crime know the nation.
Virgil
Abscond. To move in a mysterious way, commonly with the property of another.
Bierce, Ambrose
The faults of the burglar are the qualities of the financier.
Shaw, George Bernard
Crimes of which a people is ashamed constitute its real history. The same is true of man.
Genet, Jean
Slums may well be breeding-grounds of crime, but middle-class suburbs are incubators of apathy and delirium.
Connolly, Cyril
He has committed the crime who profits by it.
Seneca
The fear of burglars is not only the fear of being robbed, but also the fear of a sudden and unexpected clutch out of the darkness.
Canetti, Elias
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
The truth of the matter is that muggers are very interesting people.
Winner, Michael
