Plagiarists, at least, have the merit of preservation. [ Disraeli ]

Plagiarists are always suspicious of being stolen from. [ Coleridge ]

Plagiarists are purloiners who filch the fruit that others have gathered, and then throw away the basket. [ Chatfield ]

All the makers of dictionaries, all the compilers of opinions already printed, we may term plagiarists, but honest plagiarists, who arrogate not the merit of invention. [ Voltaire ]

Most plagiarists, like the drone, have neither taste to select, industry to acquire, nor skill to improve, but impudently pilfer the honey ready prepared, from the hive. [ Colton ]

All the makers of dictionaries, all compilers who do nothing else than repeat backwards and forwards the opinions, the errors, the impostures, and the truths already printed, we may term plagiarists: but honest plagiarists, who arrogate not the merit of invention. [ Voltaire ]
