Petty Theft

Famous quotes containing the words petty and/or theft:

    Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world
    Like a colossus, and we petty men
    Walk under his huge legs and peep about
    To find ourselves dishonorable graves.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its labourers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.
    Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890–1969)
