No public man can be just a little crooked. There is no such thing as a no-man's land between honesty and dishonesty.

Herbert Hoover

This country has nothing to fear from the crooked man who fails. We put him in jail. It is the crooked man who succeeds who is a threat to this country.

Theodore Roosevelt

Never trust a man who says he is only a little crooked, and that the crookedness is exercised in your interest.

Theodore Roosevelt

Once upon a time there was a crooked tree and a straight tree. And they grew next to each other. And every day the straight tree would look at the crooked tree and he would say, "You're crooked. You've always been crooked and you'll continue to be crooked. But look at me! Look at me!" said the straight tree. He said, "I'm tall and I'm straight." And then one day the lumberjacks came into the forest and looked around, and the manager in charge said, "Cut all the straight trees." And that crooked tree is still there to this day, growing strong and growing strange.

Tom Waits

I'm still a little bent, a little crooked, but all things considered, I can't complain.

Anthony Kiedis

I would always love Alaska Young, my crooked neighbor, with all my crooked heart.

John Green

The path of least resistance leads to crooked rivers and crooked men.

Henry David Thoreau

It is better to have crooked legs than a crooked spirit. We can only do the best we can with what we have. That, after all, is the measure of success: what we do with what we have.

Marguerite de Angeli

The good news is that by the second year, those cravings were about as half as frequent, and by the third year, half as much again. I'm still a little bent, a little crooked, but all things crooked, I can't complain. After all those years of all kinds of abuse and crashing into trees at eighty miles an hour and jumping off buildings and living through overdoses and liver disease, I feel better now than I did ten years ago. I might have some scar tissue, but that's alright, I'm still making progress.

Anthony Kiedis

The strong man, the positive, decisive man who has a program and is determined to carry it out, cuts his way to his goal regardless of difficulties. It is the discouraged man who turns aside and takes a crooked path.

Orison S. Marden

I felt like it was something that didn't represent how I wanted to present myself. Now I'll see kids I come across on Twitter or Comic-Con, and they'll smile and I'll be like, "You have a crooked mouth like I have a crooked mouth!" We just sit there, and I talk about it with them and they feel better about themselves.

Milo Ventimiglia

I always thought I had crooked eyebrows and crooked teeth. That's why I never understood why people called me a beauty.

Lauren Bacall

If a crooked stick is before you, you need not explain how crooked it is. Lay a straight one down by the side of it, and the work is well done. Preach the truth, and error will stand abashed in its presence.

Charles Spurgeon

You shall love your crooked neighbour, with your crooked heart.

W. H. Auden

When I meet a new person, something has to be a little off for me to consider them beautiful. It could be crooked teeth, or veins in their skin that are a little too visible, or a really dramatic lazy eye. The first guy I ever kissed had a water head.

Amy Sedaris

From such crooked wood as that which man is made of, nothing straight can be fashioned.

Immanuel Kant
