Thus let me live, unseen, unknown, Thus unlamented let me die, Steal from the world, and not a stone Tell where I lie.
Alexander Pope
Image
I asked a thief to steal me a peach: He turned up his eyes. I asked a lithe lady to lie her down: Holy and meek, she cries. As soon as I went An angel came. He winked at the thief And smiled at the dame- And without one word spoke Had a peach from the tree, And 'twixt earnest and joke Enjoyed the lady.
William Blake
Image
Long drawn, the cool, green shadows Steal o'er the lake's warm breast, And the ancient silence follows The burning sun to rest. The calm of a thousand summers, And dreams of countless Junes, Return when the lake-wind murmurs Through golden August noons.
William Braithwaite

What’s the worst thing I've stolen? Probably little pieces of other people’s lives. Where I’ve either wasted their time or hurt them in some way. That’s the worst thing you can steal, the time of other people. You just can’t get that back.

Ellen Langer

In a real fight, there ain't no time and you've got to use your wits. If someone were threatening the life of my child, then I'd be a good fighter. If somebody just wanted to steal my wallet, well, maybe I wouldn't worry about it so much.
Hugo Weaving

Image
May Allah steal from you All that steals you from Him.
Rabia Basri
Image
I have somewhere seen it observed that we should make the same use of a book that the bee does of a flower: she steals sweets from it, but does not injure it.
Charles Caleb Colton
Image
Virtue steals, like a guilty thing, into the secret haunts of vice and infamy, clings to their devoted victim, and will not be driven quite away. Nothing can destroy the human heart.
William Hazlitt
Image
The sweetest hunts are stolen. To steal a hunt, either go far into the wilderness where no one has been, or else find some undiscovered place under everybody's nose
Aldo Leopold
Image
It's always darkest before the dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.
Navjot Singh Sidhu
Image
If it weren't for the law, I would steal books if it weren't for my purse, I would buy them.
Harold Laski
Image
If we steal a man's purse we are thieves. If we steal twelve hundred islands we are patriots. If you steal a man's money you will be sent to the penitentiary. If you steal his liberty you will be sent to the White House.
William Jennings Bryan
Image
If I steal money from any person, there may be no harm done from the mere transfer of possession he may not feel the loss, or it may prevent him from using the money badly. But I cannot help doing this great wrong towards Man, that I make myself dishonest.
William Kingdon Clifford
Image
I sleep better knowing that a naked cork-eater is not sneaking around at night, stealing my underwear.

Image
The robbed that smiles, steals something from the thief.

People who lie, cheat and steal in relationships are communicating that they have such an inferior view of themselves that they are not worthy of another's trust.
Chip R. Bell
Image
That strain again! It had a dying fall: O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound That breathes upon a bank of violets, Stealing and giving odour! Enough no more: 'Tis not so sweet as it was before.
William Shakespeare
Image
O God, that men should put an enemy in their mouths to steal away their brains! - Cassio (Act II, Scene iii)

And sleep, that sometime shuts up sorrow's eye, Steal me awhile from mine own company.
William Shakespeare
