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://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After all is said and done, more is said than done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63349]]></link><description><![CDATA[After all is said and done, more is said than done.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63349</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All the territorial possessions of all the political establishments in the earth--including America, of course--consist of pilferings from other people's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10210]]></link><description><![CDATA[All the territorial possessions of all the political establishments in the earth--including America, of course--consist of pilferings from other people's wash.

I believe the problem is that we have been trying to substitute praying for obeying, and it simply will not work. To pray for revival while ignoring the plain precept laid down in Scripture is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our trouble. Prayer will become effective when we stop using it as a substitute for obedience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7354</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Someone who's like Angelina Jolie because she isn't scared of not being pretty.
