Line 22:
* Kill a man's family, and he may brook it,<br>But keep your hands out of his breeches' pocket.
** [[Lord Byron]], ''[[Don Juan (Byron)|Don Juan]]'' (1818-24), Canto X, Stanza 79.
* The seventh commandment forbids unjustly taking or keeping the goods of one's neighbor and wronging him in any way with respect to his goods. It commands justice and charity in the care of earthly goods and the fruits of men's labor. For the sake of the common good, it requires respect for the universal destination of goods and respect for the right to private property.

* Thieves respect property; they merely wish the property to become their property that they may more perfectly respect it.
Line 59 ⟶ 62:
476. Not to desire another's possession (Deuteronomy 5:18) <br> 477. Return the robbed object or its value (Leviticus 5:23) <br> 478. Not to ignore a lost object (Deuteronomy 22:3) <br> 479. Return the lost object (Deuteronomy 22:1) <br> 480. The court must implement laws against the one who assaults another or damages another's property (Exodus 21:8) <br>
** Sefer Hamitzvot by [[Maimonides]]
* Desire leads to [[coveting]], and coveting leads to stealing. For if the owner (of the coveted object) does not wish to sell, even though he is offered a good price and is entreated to accept, the person (who covets the object) will come to steal it, as it is written (Mikha 2:2) [Micah 2:2], 'They covet fields and (then) steal them.' And if the owner approaches him with a view to reclaiming his money or preventing the theft, then he will come to murder. Go and learn from the example of Achav [Ahab] and Navot [Naboth].

* Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Let there be the curse of Allah upon the thief who steals an egg and his hand is cut off, and steals a rope and his hand is cut off.
