21 Quotes About Plagiarism

Plagiarism (also known as “unauthorized reuse”, “passing off”, or “quoting”) is the act of taking credit for the ideas, words, or work of another person. It is a serious academic offence, which can result in expulsion from college or university or loss of employment (if one’s job involves work that requires one to create original content). However, plagiarism also occurs outside of college and university, sometimes without people even knowing they are doing it. These are some of the best quotes about plagiarism.

When we plagiarize, we are likewise creating in the image and participating in the completion of Creation. . Jonathan Safran Foer

But Christian clergymen are well aware that if they were to attempt to purify Christianity and bring it back to the religion of Christ, the result would be to reform it out of existence. Christianity stands to-day completely explained. Every step in its development is laid bare and shown to be due to purely natural causes, and it is easy to see how much Christianity adopted from other and older religions. Virchand Gandhi
