“Whoever tries to steal from another the things which are that other’s may justly lose to the other whom he is attacking the things which belong to him personally.”
- Geoffrey of Monmouth’s The History of the Kings of Britain (ix.17), completed in 1136 CE, translated from Latin into English by Lewis Thorpe (Penguin Classics, 1966).
