Ill-gotten gains work evil.
The money's the same, whether you earn it or scam it.
Things gained through unjust fraud are never secure.
Thieves at home must hang; but he that puts Into his overgorged and bloated purse The wealth of Indian provinces, escapes.
Ill gotten gains will be ill spent.
To get wealth and security by guile Is like one who pours water into a pot of unbaked clay.
Well-gotten wealth may lose itself, but the ill-gotten loses its master also.
