The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason, but with no morals.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that the time is always ripe to do right.
Quote by -Martin Luther King
“To delight in war is a merit in the soldier, a dangerous quality in the captain, and a positive crime in the statesman.”
Quote by -George Santayana
Until recently each generation found it more expedient to plead guilty to the charge of being young and ignorant, easier to take the punishment meted out by the older generation (which had itself confessed to the same crime short years before). The command to grow up at once was more bearable than the faceless horror of wavering purpose, which was youth.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
“Actual life was chaos, but there was something terribly logical in the imagination. It was the imagination that set remorse to dog the feet of sin. It was the imagination that made each crime bear its misshapen brood. In the common world of fact the wicked were not punished, nor the good rewarded. Success was given to the strong, failure thrust upon the weak. That was all.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
I used to always fight for human rights. I still fight for Leonard Peltier, who's spent 35 years in jail for a crime he didn't commit.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
"We have suffered unnumbered ills and crimes in the name of the Law of the Land. Our men, women and children have suffered not only the basic brutality of stoop labor, and the most obvious injustices of the system; they have also suffered the desperation of knowing that the system caters to the greed of callous men and not to our needs. Now we will suffer for the purpose of ending the poverty, the misery, and the injustice, with the hope that our children will not be exploited as we have been. They have imposed hungers on us, and now we hunger for justice."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"Punishment is the last and the least effective instrument in the hands of the legislator for the prevention of crime."
Quote by -John Ruskin
"Capital punishment is as fundamentally wrong as a cure for crime as charity is wrong as a cure for poverty."
Quote by -Henry Ford
"I hadn't realized until I covered the police beat just how seedy crime is."
Quote by -Jessica Savitch
“The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes.”
Quote by -Arthur Conan Doyle
“Crime is common. Logic is rare. Therefore it is upon the logic rather than upon the crime that you should dwell.”
Quote by -Arthur Conan Doyle
“The larger crimes are apt to be the simpler, for the bigger the crime, the more obvious, as a rule, is the motive.”
Quote by -Arthur Conan Doyle
“The stage lost a fine actor, even as science lost an acute reasoner, when [Holmes] became a specialist in crime.”
Quote by -Arthur Conan Doyle
“Do you know, Watson," said he, "that it is one of the curses of a mind with a turn like mine that I must look at everything with reference to my own special subject. You look at these scattered houses, and you are impressed by their beauty. I look at them, and the only thought which comes to me is a feeling of their isolation and of the impunity with which crime may be committed there.”
Quote by -Arthur Conan Doyle
“It is a mistake to confound strangeness with mystery. The most commonplace crime is often the most mysterious because it presents no new or special features from which deductions may be drawn. This murder would have been infinitely more difficult to unravel had the body of the victim been simply found lying in the roadway without any of those outré and sensational accompaniments which have rendered it remarkable. These strange details, far from making the case more difficult, have really had the effect of making it less so.”
Quote by -Arthur Conan Doyle
“There are no crimes and no criminals in these days. What is the use of having brains in our profession? I know well that I have it in me to make my name famous. No man lives or has ever lived who has brought the same amount of study and of natural talent to the detection of crime which I have done. And what is the result? There is no crime to detect, or, at most, some bungling villainy with a motive so transparent that even a Scotland Yard official can see through it.”
Quote by -Arthur Conan Doyle
“[O]n general principles it is best that I should not leave the country. Scotland Yard feels lonely without me, and it causes an unhealthy excitement among the criminal classes.”
Quote by -Arthur Conan Doyle
Tell Allen I plead guilty to vampirism and other crimes against life. But I love him and nothing else cancels love.
Quote by -William Seward
Every study on crime and or firearms proves time and time again, that 99.99999% of American gun owners do not commit crimes or use our firearms in any dangerous or improper way.
Quote by -Ted Nugent
The source of every crime, is some defect of the understanding; or some error in reasoning; or some sudden force of the passions.
Quote by -Thomas Hobbes
If someone doesn’t want to be a criminal anymore, I can give them tools that can better their life. You have no idea how many people want to know what Scientology is.
Quote by -Tom Cruise
This is not love. It is a crime... You can't look the other way just because you have not experienced domestic violence with your own flesh.
Quote by -Salma Hayek
Naturally, it is a terrible, despicable crime when, as in Munich, people are taken hostage, people are killed. But probing the motives of those responsible and showing that they are also individuals with families and have their own story does not excuse what they did.
Quote by -Steven Spielberg
