It is certain that stealing nourishes courage, strength, skill, tact, in a word, all the virtues useful to a republican system and consequently to our own. Lay partiality aside, and answer me: is theft, whose effect is to distribute wealth more evenly, to be branded as a wrong in our day, under our government which aims at equality? Plainly, the answer is no.

    il est certain que voler nourrit le courage, la force, l'habileté, le tact, en un mot, toutes les vertus utiles à un système républicain et par conséquent au nôtre. Mettez de côté la partialité et répondez-moi: le vol, qui a pour effet de répartir plus équitablement la richesse, doit-il être qualifié de mal de nos jours, sous notre gouvernement qui vise l'égalité? clairement, la réponse est non.
