„If a man looks upon any other man and estimates that man as less than himself, then he is stealing from the other. He is stealing the other’s birthright – that of equality.“

— Neville Goddard
„The man who was once starved may revenge himself upon the world not by stealing just once, or by stealing only what he needs, but by taking from the world an endless toll in payment of something irreplaceable, which is the lost faith.“
— Anaïs Nin
„A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad.“
— Theodore Roosevelt
„A noble man compares and estimates himself by an idea which is higher than himself; and a mean man, by one lower than himself. The one produces aspiration; the other ambition, which is the way in which a vulgar man aspires.“
— Marcus Aurelius
