Common Law Larceny

Famous quotes containing the words common, law and/or larceny:

    A person of definite character and purpose who comprehends our way of thought is sure to exert power over us. He cannot altogether be resisted; because, if he understands us, he can make us understand him, through the word, the look, or other symbol, which both of us connect with the common sentiment or idea; and thus by communicating an impulse he can move the will.
    Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

    With proper attribution, to quote another’s thoughts and words is appropriate; plagiarism, however, is cheating, and it may break copyright law as well.
    Kenneth G. Wilson (1923)

    If there is any larceny in a man, golf will bring it out.
    Paul Gallico (1897–1976)
