* KLEPTOMANIAC, ''n.'' A rich thief.
** [[Ambrose Bierce]], [https://books.google.com/books?id=CboOAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA213 ''The Cynic's Word Book''] (1906); republished as ''The Devil's Dictionary'' (1911)
* To live<br>On means not yours—be brave in silks and laces,<br>Gallant in steeds; splendid in banquets; all<br>Not yours. Given, uninherited, unpaid for;<br>This is to be a trickster; and to filch<br>Men's art and labour, which to them is wealth,<br>Life, daily bread;—quitting all scores with "friend,<br>You're troublesome!" <br>Why this, forgive me,<br>Is what, when done with a less dainty grace,<br>Plain folks call "Theft."
