Opportunity

Everything happens to everybody sooner or later if there is time enough.

Much may be done in those little shreds and patches of time which every day produces, and which most men throw away

Make crime pay. Become a lawyer

Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of husbands. Remember all men would be tyrants if they could

Hunger makes a thief of any man
