Thief Steals

Famous quotes containing the words thief and/or steals:

“None can re-enter there—
No thief so politic,
No Satan with a royal trick
Steal in by window, chink, or hole,
To bind or unbind, add what lacked,
Insert a leaf, or forge a name,
New-face or finish what is packed,
Alter or mend eternal fact.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“The robbed that smiles steals something from the thief;
He robs himself that spends a bootless grief.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
