Heaven takes care that no man secures happiness by crime.

Summary

This quote suggests that the concept of heaven or a higher power ensures that individuals cannot achieve true happiness or prosperity through unjust or criminal means. It implies that any success or joy obtained through illegal or unethical actions will ultimately be blocked or punished by an unseen force. Therefore, it encourages people to pursue righteousness and avoid any immoral actions in their quest for happiness, as true and lasting fulfillment can only be found through legitimate and morally upright means.
