Criminal laws are laws, imposed on men, who are already in existence, with or without their consent, and, with the possible exception of capital punishment for murder, there is no logical relation between the nature of a crime and the penalty inflicted for committing it. If God created man, then the laws of man's spiritual nature must, like the laws of his physical nature, be laws -- laws, that is to say, which he is free to defy but no more free to break than he can break the law of gravity by jumping out of the window, or the laws of biochemistry by getting drunk -- and the consequences of defying them must be as inevitable and as intrinsically related to their nature as a broken leg or a hangover. To state spiritual laws in the imperative -- Thou shalt love God with all thy being, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself -- is simply a pedagogical technique, as when a mother says to her small son, "Stay away from the window!" because the child does not yet know what will happen if he falls out of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you have faults, do not fear to abandon them ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15435]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you have faults, do not fear to abandon them]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[ÃƒÂƒÃ‚Â feel very proud because we worked so hard to create it - and proud for France because everything is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30097]]></link><description><![CDATA[ÃƒÂƒÃ‚Â feel very proud because we worked so hard to create it - and proud for France because everything is made here.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30097</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51038]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51038</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It must require an inordinate share of vanity and presumption, too, after enjoying so much that is good and beautiful ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60397]]></link><description><![CDATA[It must require an inordinate share of vanity and presumption, too, after enjoying so much that is good and beautiful on earth, to ask the Lord for immortality in addition to all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Live that you wouldn't be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17875]]></link><description><![CDATA[Live that you wouldn't be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17875</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To some, freedom means the opportunity to do what they want to do; to most it means not to do ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47589]]></link><description><![CDATA[To some, freedom means the opportunity to do what they want to do; to most it means not to do what they do not want to do.
