There is an old story which tells of an Italian duke who went on board a galley ship. As he passed the crew of slaves he asked several of them what their offenses were. Every one laid the blame to someone else, saying his brother was to blame or the judge was bribed. One sturdy young fellow said: “My lord, I am justly in here. I wanted money and I stole it.

Get you out of their company!” The young fellow was then set at liberty, while the rest were left to tug at the oars.
