It is harder to make a banker out of a horse thief than it is to make a horse thief out of a banker.?

Question

What in the world does that mean?

Answer 1

Bankers aren't exactly known for their wild, reckless tendencies, but a horse theif might well adapt to life as a banker, not having to steal, etc.
Although in my experience bankers are all theives in their own right.

Answer 2

A banker is more than likely an honest person, so it would be harder to convert him into a horse thief.

Answer 3

Beings that they are 2 different types of people you can't make either do the other job, they are too different.
