Famous quotes containing the words thief and/or steals:
“A woman hostage
will call a young thief “hero”
and look at him with love,
even if she’s lost her mind with grief
because her family
has been slaughtered.
As far as virtues go,
who can hold a grudge?”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
“The rain it raineth on the just
And also on the unjust fella;
But chiefly on the just, because
The unjust steals the just’s umbrella.”
—Charles Synge Christopher Bowen (1835–1896)
