I think as a Ranaldite, an even more appropriate source to quote is scripture:
—The perfect crime, I say; for if we succeed, we cannot be caught, even if all know of our deeds. Only if we fail can we be punished.
—But, how can this be? When we commit a crime, the law of the land always follows, especially if they know what we have done, and who we are.
—Not for this crime, my friend. I can guarantee that success will bring us safety.
—Please, do not taunt me so, what is this crime we must plan?
—You tell me.
