Crimes

Famous quotes containing the word crimes:

“Those who are incapable of commiting great crimes will not easily suspect others of doing so.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

“As you from crimes would pardoned be,
Let your indulgence set me free.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Some crimes get honor and renown by being committed with more pomp, by a greater number, and in a higher degree of wickedness than others. Hence it is that public robberies, plunderings, and sackings have been looked upon as excellencies and noble achievements, and the seizing of whole countries, however unjustly and barbarously, is dignified with the glorious name of gaining conquests.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
