Reb Dov Baer of Mezritch said that a person should learn three things from a child and seven things from a thief. From a child: He is always happy. He never sits empty-handed for a second. He cries for everything he wants. From a thief: He works even at night. What he cannot accomplish in one night he will try again the second. All thieves love one another. He will sacrifice his life for a trivial thing. No object has a specific value attached to it and he will sell the most valuable thing for an insignificant price. A thief will take a severe beating for what he has stolen but will insist he knows nothing about it. He will not change his business for anything else in the world.
Come for a dose of inspiration from some of the greatest (and at times oddest) minds of history. The table is set. Come eat.
