A Quote by Henry David Thoreau

How can a man be satisfied to entertain an opinion merely, and enjoy it? Is there any enjoyment in it, if his opinion is that he is aggrieved? If you are cheated out of a single dollar by your neighbor, you do not rest satisfied with knowing that you are cheated, or with saying that you are cheated, or even with petitioning him to pay you your due; but you take effectual steps at once to obtain the full amount, and see that you are never cheated again.

It was like she was cheated. Only nobody had cheated her. So there was nobody to take it out on. However, just the same she had that feeling. Cheated.

Carson McCullers

I've cheated, or someone on my team has cheated, in almost every single game I've been in.

Rogers Hornsby

We cheated, you and me, and someone noticed. I noticed you; someone else noticed me. It hurts us. That's not so bad. So many people cheat. Everywhere on every level. Everyone's cheated. I'm just saying that you don't need to see yourself as a cheater. Because that's not who you are. You're someone who cheated. There's a difference, and you should try to get that difference, or that's who you'll grow up to be.

Anne Lamott

People suffer all their life long, under the foolish superstition that they can be cheated. But it is impossible for a person to be cheated by anyone but himself.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Everybody has been cheated on, everyone will be cheated on.

Cameron Diaz

I've never cheated. I've been cheated on.

Maura Higgins

I've never cheated or been cheated upon. I've seen my parents together and secure. So I feel the same way. Infidelity stems from low self-esteem. You want to cheat when you don't feel good about yourself.

Preity Zinta

If there was one thing worse than being cheated, it was being cheated by someone who referred to themselves in the third person.

Chris Wooding

There's not a single man in this world who has not cheated on his woman at least once!

Sajid Khan

He is not cheated who knows he is being cheated.

Edward Coke

Grandma cheated whenever she could. She cheated because it was a much more scientific and surer way of winning than trusting to luck.

Allan Sherman

Henry Hays was cheated all his life. He was cheated by his father who taught him to hate. His community taught him to hate. My mom told me, no matter what one does in life, he or she deserves some compassion, and I knew Hays deserved compassion more than anybody.

Anthony Ray Hinton

In real life, there are some times where a partner has cheated on somebody, and that person never found out about it. I have to imagine that that's happened before. It's a thing we don't really want to think about, because it's maybe the most painful thing to think about in a relationship - 'What if I've been cheated on and never knew?'

Paul Rust

When a man gets cheated on, I'm like, 'Meh, he'll find somebody else.' When a woman gets cheated on, that's a deep wound. I think when a man is widowed, like Liam Neeson, I think that has more of an effect - you had a great love and the universe took her.

Patti Stanger

A Gentleman is a man who will pay his gambling debts even when he knows he has been cheated.

Leo Tolstoy

There's no such thing as cheating when you're 18. That's just true. I'm very endeared by this notion of the way adolescents practice being grown ups and practice for adult morality. I remember when I was 15 and people were starting to date and someone cheated on someone. They'd say, 'He cheated on her. You know what they say, once a cheater always a cheater.'

Greta Gerwig
