“Courage is not limited to the battlefield or the Indianapolis 500 or bravely catching a thief in your house. The real tests of courage are much quieter. They are the inner tests, like remaining faithful when nobody's looking, like enduring pain when the room is empty, like standing alone when you're misunderstood.”
Charles Swindoll
“The thief is sorry he is to be hanged, not that he is a thief”

“If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall be brought unto the judges, to see whether he have put his hand unto his neighbour's goods.”
Bible
“It is not easy to steal where the landlord is a thief”
Irish Sayings
“It is not the thief who is hanged, but one who was caught stealing”
Czech Proverb
“Every rascal is not a thief, but every thief is a rascal.”
Aristotle
“A person who steals bread during a famine is not treated as a thief.”
Yusuf Islam
