Summary

This quote reflects the narrator's reflection on how perpetrators of illegal activities, specifically stealing, often go unpunished in New York City. The phrase "get their come-uppance" refers to facing the consequences of their actions. The quote implies that in New York, the chances of facing repercussions for theft are low, insinuating a lack of effective law enforcement and a prevailing acceptance of such activities. Ultimately, it suggests a perception that stealing is almost equivalent to being legal in the city due to the minimal punishment that offenders receive.

Whoever will cultivate their own mind will find full employment. Every virtue does not only require great care in the planting, but as much daily solicitude in cherishing as exotic fruits and flowers; the vices and passions (which I am afraid are the natural product of the soil) demand perpetual weeding. Add to this the search after knowledge... and the longest life is too short.
