“Dr. Watts, ... has asked the senseless question:
‘Why should I deprive my neighbor Of his goods against his will?’
Fancy that as an argument for Honesty! His position seems to be ‘I’m
only honest because I see no reason to steal.’ And the thief’s answer is
of course complete and crushing. ‘I deprive my neighbor his goods
because I want them myself. And I do it against his will because there’s
no chance of getting him to consent to it!’”
