Letter "T" » Thieving
"'Tis bad enough in man or woman
To steal a goose from off a common;
But surely he's without excuse
Who steals a common from the goose."
Author: Unattributed Author
About: Thieving
"Who steals a bugle-horn, a ring, a steed,
Or such like worthless thing, has some discretion;
'Tis petty larceny: not such his deed
Who robs us of our fame, our best possession."
Author: Francesco Berni
About: Thieving
"For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high
places of the city,
To call passengers who go right on their ways:
Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that
wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant."
Author: Bible

More followers than a thief to the gallows."
Author: Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton, first Baron Lytton
About: Thieving
"–To live
On means not yours–be brave in silks and laces,
Gallant in steeds; splendid in banquets; all
Not yours. Given, uninherited, unpaid for;
This is to be a trickster; and to filch
Men's art and labour, which to them is wealth,
Life, daily bread;–quitting all scores with "friend,
You're troublesome!" Why this, forgive me,
Is what, when done with a less dainty grace,
Plain folks call "Theft."
Author: Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton, first Baron Lytton
About: Thieving
"Kill a man's family, and he may brook it,
But keep your hands out of his breeches' pocket."

sleeve.
[The Friar preached against stealing, and had a goose in his

And bend our conscience to our dealing.
The Ten Commandments will not budge
And stealing will continue stealing."
