Quotes About Cheating

Cheats prosper until there are enough who bear grudges against them to make sure they do not prosper.
~ Peter Singer
So I get to be the bitch now? Fine. Then you, my friend, are the scary girl. 'He doesn't hit me. He doesn't abuse me. He doesn't cheat on me.' Can you hear yourself? If those are the standards you have--hey, he hasn't punched me, so everything must be okay!--that scares me. That makes me think that at some point you've used these justifications. 'Oh, it's really bad right now, and he's being awful...but at least he's not hitting me. Have a little more respect for yourself than that, okay?

Some are perfectly satisfied with what they have; they eat, drink, impregnate their wives, and take life as it comes.

They say that Hope is happiness But genuine Love must prize the past; And Mem'ry wakes the thoughts that bless: They rose first -- they set the last.

It is delusion all-- The future cheats us from afar: Nor can we be what we recall, Nor dare we think on what we are.
