Crimes, like virtues, are their own rewards.

Summary

This quote suggests that committing crimes is a rewarding experience in itself, much like pursuing virtues or moral actions. It implies that some individuals derive satisfaction or personal gain from engaging in illegal activities, regardless of the potential consequences. This could highlight the subjective nature of "rewards," where individuals might find fulfillment or thrill in engaging in wrongdoing, even though society generally considers crimes to be morally and legally wrong.

At the same time, we have more control over our pet's diet than we do with our children or with ourselves, so your vet can tell you what is appropriate for your dog and you can assign them that.
