Quote by Plato
He who steals a little steals with the same wish as he who steals much, but with less power.
Summary
This quote suggests that the intention behind any act of theft is ultimately the same regardless of the magnitude of the stolen item. It implies that the desire to possess something that doesn't belong to you is not dependent on the value or size of what is stolen. Instead, it is driven by the same motivation, although those who steal something small may feel they have less influence or control over their actions compared to those who steal something larger or more significant.
