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 we say it's time for batting practice, they say, 'Oh, let's go!'

The Jews could only see "Old Testament" in Moses and the prophets, because they were blind. To the spiritual all Scripture is gospel, or New Testament (the Law being the schoolmaster, bringing us to Christ), but to the natural and self righteous, as we ought to know from experience and observation, all Scripture (gospels and epistles included) is Old Testament, or Covenant of Works.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hell is empty and all the devils are here. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19113]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hell is empty and all the devils are here.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19113</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is out of my mind but forever in my heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25740]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is out of my mind but forever in my heart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Submit or resign. [Lat., Se soumettre ou se demettre.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6063]]></link><description><![CDATA[Submit or resign. [Lat., Se soumettre ou se demettre.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's the niceties that make the difference fate gives us the hand, and we play the cards. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15406]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's the niceties that make the difference fate gives us the hand, and we play the cards.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not doing more than the average is what keeps the average down. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26761]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not doing more than the average is what keeps the average down.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26761</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Immortality is the glorious discovery of Christianity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20604]]></link><description><![CDATA[Immortality is the glorious discovery of Christianity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The human contribution is the essential ingredient.

One of the Apes, who had raised himself to beking, commanded them to be seized and brought before him, that hemight know what was said of him among men. He ordered at thesame time that all the Apes be arranged in a long row on hisright hand and on his left, and that a throne be placed for him,as was the custom among men. After these preparations hesignified that the two men should be brought before him, andgreeted them with this salutation: What sort of a king do I seemto you to be, O strangers?' The Lying Traveler replied, You seemto me a most mighty king. And what is your estimate of thoseyou see around me?' These, he made answer, are worthycompanions of yourself, fit at least to be ambassadors andleaders of armies. The Ape and all his court, gratified with thelie, commanded that a handsome present be given to the flatterer. On this the truthful Traveler thought to himself, If so great areward be given for a lie, with what gift may not I be rewarded,if, according to my custom, I tell the truth?' The Ape quicklyturned to him. And pray how do I and these my friends around meseem to you?' Thou art, he said, a most excellent Ape, and allthese thy companions after thy example are excellent Apes too.The King of the Apes, enraged at hearing these truths, gave himover to the teeth and claws of his companions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Enjoy what you can, endure what you must! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62854]]></link><description><![CDATA[Enjoy what you can, endure what you must!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The city is huge.
