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[The greatest of faults, I should say, is to be conscious of none. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15423]]></link><description><![CDATA[The greatest of faults, I should say, is to be conscious of none.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3379]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3379</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A civilized society is one which tolerates eccentricity to the point of doubtful sanity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56751]]></link><description><![CDATA[A civilized society is one which tolerates eccentricity to the point of doubtful sanity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56751</guid></item></channel></rss>
