Famous quotes containing the words thief and/or steals:
“If some beggar steals a bridle
he’ll be hung by a man who’s stolen a horse.
There’s no surer justice in the world than that
which makes the rich thief hang the poor one.”

And also on the unjust fella;
But chiefly on the just, because
The unjust steals the just’s umbrella.”
