Nothing which is harmonized by the bond of the Muse can be changed from its own to another language without destroying its sweetness
Dante AlighieriIf a thief helps a poor man out of the spoils of his thieving, we must not call that charity.
Dante AlighieriI affirm that gain is precisely that which comes oftener to the bad man than to the good; for illegitimate gains never come to the good at all, because they reject them. And lawful gains rarely come to the good, because, since much anxious care is needful thereto, and the anxious care of the good man is directed to weightier matters, rarely does the good man give sufficient attention thereto. Wherefore it is clear that in every way the advent of these riches is iniquitous.
