In my early childhood if it may be called so I was beaten and starved, set to beg, forced to thieve, and never had a kind word said to me or a kind deed done to me. No wonder I grew up a callous, hardened ruffian. As the twig is bent, so will the tree grow. "Out of this depth of degradation I was rescued by a philanthropist, who had me fed and clothed and educated.
And finally, we possess many qualities which promise us a happy end; for we sing in prison, are silent on the rack, work by day, and by night we thieve, or rather we take means to teach all men that they should exempt themselves from the trouble of seeing where they put their property. We are not distressed by the fear of losing our honour, or kept awake by ambition to increase it.
We believe that Shakspeare wrote "What's open made To Justice, Justice seizes; knows the Law That thieve do pass on thieves?" We have pointed out a passage or two where we think Mr. White follows the Folio text too literally. Two instances we have noted where he has altered, as we think, for the worse. White reads, I have made you mad." The Folio reads, "Hath caused to belch up you"; and Mr.
It is the man you dine, breakfast, and lodge with, walk, ride, gamble, or thieve with, that is your friend; not the man who likes Virgil as well as you do, and agrees with you in an admiration of Handel. Meanwhile my chief prey, Lord Mauleverer, was gone; he had taken another man's Dulcinea, and sought out a bower in Italy.
Thus, in every situation, powerful rogues know how to save themselves at the expense of the feeble. This practice taught me it was not so terrible to thieve as I had imagined: I took care to make this discovery turn to some account, helping myself to everything within my reach, that I conceived an inclination for.
"'Tis manifest shame a rogue should thieve the food of an honest man a man like I be as do slave morning, noon and " "Slave!" says I, frowning. "What know you of slavery? Be curst for a great, fat fool that speaketh lies!" "Hold!" cries he. "What would ye wi' my waggon?" "Ride in 't!" "Hold! Then suffer me to ride likewise, for I'm scant o' breath " "Good! I've been scant o' breath ere now!"
What were tea and plum-cake to him, when his pauper-breeding was so stamped upon him that the gardener was free to say "A nice tale too! What's thou to do wi' doves, and thou a work'us lad?" and to take for granted that he would thieve and lie if he got the chance? His disabilities were not the dog's, however.

Let them violate the child, let them trample creative thought under foot, let there be slavery, let there be prostitution, let them thieve, mock, spill blood...Let them! The worse, the better, the nearer the end. There is a great law, I think, the same for inanimate objects as well as for all the tremendous and many-millioned human life: the power of effort is equal to the power of resistance.
If I had spoken out to no ears but yours, you would have denied it, as you are denying it now! Do you think I should have believed you? Would a man hesitate at a lie, who had done what I saw YOU do who had behaved about it afterwards, as I saw YOU behave? I tell you again, I shrank from the horror of hearing you lie, after the horror of seeing you thieve.
