“A thief is a thief is a thief.”
“Thief, thief, thief! Baggins! We hates it, we hates it, we hates it forever!”
“The thief, as will become apparent, was a special type of thief. This thief was an artist of theft. Other thieves merely stole everything that was not nailed down, but this thief stole the nails as well.”
“A thief was a thief, whether he stole a little or a lot.”
“Even if he was a thief, he was my thief. I could not push him away anymore.”
“Punctuality is the thief of time”
