Thieves may appreciate the value of honesty more than respectable people who rob others in more subtle and legal ways. But they are socially far less acceptable. Theft cannot continue long without detection.

Even card sharks usually play only with those whom they have just met, and do not linger long after the "killing." For those who plan to live for some time with each other and with their neighbors, honesty is essential.

Beware of the person who thinks that it is smart to get into a show without paying, or does not correct matters when he is over-changed. He is a poor dating or marriage risk.
