When you do what you do best, you are helping not only yourself,but the world. ~ ~ As witnesses not of our intentions but of our conduct, we can be true or false, and the hypocrite's crime is that he bears false witness against himself. What makes it so plausible to assume that hypocrisy is the vice of vices is that integrity can indeed exist under the cover of all other vices except this one. Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core. ~ ~ It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime. ~ ~ He who does not prevent a crime when he can, encourages it. ~ ~ Society prepares the crime, the criminal commits it ~ ~ He who profits by a crime commits it ~ ~ If you share your friend's crime, you make it your own ~ ~ If you share your friend's crime, you make it your own ~ ~ Perhaps the world's second worst crime is boredom. The first is being a bore. ~ ~ Poverty may be the mother of crime, but lack of good sense is the father ~ ~ Crime is a product of social excess ~ ~ Crime is an overhead you have to pay if you want to live in the city ~ ~ Crime and the fear of crime have permeated the fabric of American life. ~ ~ The greatest crime since World War II has been United States foreign policy. ~ ~ What is crime amongst the multitude, is only vice among the few. ~ ~ All crime is a kind of disease and should be treated as such. ~ ~ The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals.
