Slavery is theft - theft of a life, theft of work, theft of any property or produce, theft even of the children a slave might have borne.

Kevin Bales

We hear a lot about identity theft when someone takes your wallet and pretends to be you and uses your credit cards. But the more serious identity theft is to get swallowed up in other people's definition of you.

Stephen Covey

Notwithstanding what some regard as the institutionalization of compassion, the transfer society quashes genuine virtue. Redistribution of income by means of government coercion is a form of theft. Its supporters attempt to disguise its essential character by claiming that democratic procedures give it legitimacy, but this justification is specious. Theft is theft, whether it be carried out by one thief or by a hundred million thieves acting in concert. And it is impossible to found a good society on the institutionalization of theft.

Robert Higgs

There are two clocks ticking in Iran. One is the democracy movement clock which is ticking now faster than it was but it's got a lot of catching up to do. And then there's the clock that's ticking towards a nuclear weaponry.

Christopher Hitchens

You're different. You're more perfect. Time is three things for most people, but for you, for us, just one. A singularity. One moment. This moment. Like you're the center of the clock, the axis on which the hands turn. Time moves about you but never moves you. It has lost its ability to affect you. What is it they say? That time is theft? But not for you. Close your eyes and you can start all over again. Conjure up that necessary emotion, fresh as roses.

Jonathan Nolan

A lie is an act of theft. It steals peoples faith and makes them resent themselves

James Lee Burke

It's not the goods that matter. It's the theft itself. That's what counts.

Walter Wykes

I certainly don't know if you could claim that every theft is wrong, but I'll prove to you that every theft is forbidden, by simply locking you up.

Karel Capek

People equated burning CDs with theft. That's not what burning CDs is. Theft is about acquiring the music from the Internet.

Steve Jobs

It would be considered a theft on our part if we didn't give to someone in greater need than we are.

Francis of Assisi

As the economy goes south, petty theft begins. And then grand theft. And then muggings.

John McAfee

The clock is ticking. It's time to stand up. Reject the lesser evil and that propaganda. Reject the lesser evil. Fight for the greater good like our lives depend on it, because they do. We're running out of time. It's time to stand up.

Jill Stein

I am a lazy, cynical, middle-aged guy who has long since come to the conclusion that most historical periods really sucked, for most people, most of the time.

Charles Stross

Let me make it clear: The Disbursement Allocation Program is not pork barrel. Of the DAP releases in 2011 and 2012, only nine percent was disbursed for projects suggested by legislators. The DAP is not theft. Theft is illegal.

Benigno Aquino III

There can be no such thing as 'fairness in taxation.' Taxation is nothing but organized theft, and the concept of a 'fair tax' is therefore every bit as absurd as that of 'fair theft.'

Murray Rothbard

Give your goods to the poor: Christ. Property is theft - as long as it's not mine: Marx .

Joseph Goebbels
