Crime Intention Makes

Quote Author

Aristotle
Greek - Philosopher
384 BC - 322 BC

it is not the deed but the intention that makes the crime.

Heloise

The best crime stories are always about the crime and its consequences - you know, 'Crime And Punishment' is the classic. Where you have the crime, and its consequences are the story, but considering the crime and the consequences makes you think about the society in which the crime takes place, if you see what I mean.

Paul Greengrass

suicide is a crime - the only crime that, if successful, guarantees that the perpetrator will not be punished for it. This makes it the most serious crime of all.

Joanne Greenberg

Intention is power. Intention is ownership. Intention is commitment. Intention is magic.

Sonia Choquette

People have started to see that 'smart on crime' rather than 'tough on crime' makes sense.

Greg Boyle

It's not crime that makes us more punitive in the United States. It's the way we respond to crime and how we view those people who have been labeled criminals.

Michelle Alexander

Inspiration gives you a desire. Decision makes it an intention. Action makes it real.

Joe Vitale

Laws against the possession of weapons only disarm those who have no intention of committing a crime.

Cesare Beccaria

I'm a big fan of intention. That's because I have learned first-hand the power of setting my intention on my goal and making all decisions based off of that intention.

Lewis Howes

We are not prepared to consider special category status for certain groups of people serving sentences for crime. Crime is crime is crime, it is not political

Margaret Thatcher

The naive which is simultaneously beautiful, poetic, and idealistic, must be both intention and instinct. The essence of intention, in this sense, is freedom. Consciousness is far from intention. There is a certain enamoured contemplation of one's own naturalness or silliness which itself is unspeakably silly. Intention does not necessarily require a profound calculation or plan.

Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

My great crime in the world is blunder I will get into scrapes without intention or any bad motive.

Stand Watie

There would be no one there to live for her during those coming years; she would live for herself. There would be no powerful will bending hers in that blind persistance with which men and women believe they have a right to impose a private will upon a fellow-creature. A kind intention or a cruel intention made the act seem no less a crime as she looked upon it in that brief moment of illumination.

Kate Chopin

There is a lot of stuff I write that makes it seem like my intention is to make people think I'm speaking about myself entirely, and it is my intention to make people think that, but that doesn't necessarily mean that's what it is.

Chelsea Martin

There's so many ups and downs, and there's so many pieces to trying to build a business, and if the intention isn't very, very clear and the business isn't reflecting that intention, then it makes it much harder.

Gwyneth Paltrow

All my businesses are scrupulously legal. Not because I have any moral problems with crime. It just makes my life easier to obey the law. Crime is for poor people; you don't need to rob the bank if you own it.
