This proverb is used to indicate that when you are dependent on someone or when something is offered by an authority, you must accept it without question or complaint.

This proverb is used to describe a person who lacks responsibility or a sense of ownership. Just as a thief will steal crops regardless of whether they are ready for harvest or if the act ruins the field, an irresponsible or malicious person does not care about the long-term consequences or the damage they cause to others as long as they get what they want.

This proverb is used to emphasize that things do not happen just by wishing or by superficial actions. Even if you reach out for something, success requires genuine effort or the right conditions to be met; it implies that results don't come for free or without the necessary hard work.

This proverb is used to say that familiarity or close association with someone shouldn't lead to a lack of respect or being taken for granted.
