Suppose a boy steals an apple from the tray at the grocery store, and they all begin to call him a thief, the editor, minister, judge, and all the people — “a thief,” “a thief,” “a thief,” wherever he goes. And he can’t get work, and he can’t get bread without stealing it, why, the boy will steal it. It’s the way people regard the theft of the apple that makes the boy what he is.
