Thefts never enrich alms never impoverish murder will speak out of stone walls. The least admixture of a lie-for example, the taint of vanity, the least attempt to make a good impression, a favorable appearance-will instantly vitiate the effect.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Theft annoys me more than anything else. The purloining of effects from another magician. Some people think it's massive to steal the secrets of nuclear reactors, but to steal a card move is trivial. They're wrong.
Ricky Jay

The fact of the matter is that poor men do not often steal, and when they do, it is petty theft, something to eat or perhaps an item of clothing to keep them from the cold. Thieves are usually those who have something and want more.
Louis L'Amour

Principles don't die. They aren't here one day and gone the next. They can't be destroyed by fire, earthquake or theft. Principles are deep, fundamental truths, classic truths.
Stephen Covey
Image
As for literature, thefts cannot harm it, while the lapse of ages augments its value

How well opposed to grand Theft Auto are you?
Stephenie Meyer

Mark Zuckerberg

Melissa Bean

Love without sacrifice is like theft
Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Image

Thomas Aquinas
Image
I did not steal other people's work! I may have appropriated some styles, but I did not steal. My work is full... of homages to everyone in my medium - not theft!
Nick Simmons
Image
Where there's property, there's theft.
Ursula K. Le Guin

The really big problem with China is that there are the unfair trade practices, like currency manipulation, illegal export subsidies and the theft of intellectual property, but then there's also things that the WTO doesn't cover that it should, which is the use of sweat shops and pollution havens.
Peter Navarro

If you refuse where you have always granted you invite to theft.
Publilius Syrus
