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