Favorite Quote From A Single Shard by Linda Sue Park
Work gives a man dignity, stealing takes it away.
This quote means that when you work for something, you have earned the right to be proud of what you've accomplished. If you steal something and don't work for it, you have no right to be honored for or proud of what you have done. This is an important message for children and adults.
