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[It's been increasingly difficult to buy even a 30-acre piece. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29144]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's been increasingly difficult to buy even a 30-acre piece.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What gem hath dropp'd, and sparkles o'er his chain? The tear most sacred, shed for other's pain,  That starts ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58786]]></link><description><![CDATA[What gem hath dropp'd, and sparkles o'er his chain? The tear most sacred, shed for other's pain,  That starts at once--bright pure--from Pity's mine,   Already polish'd by the hand divine!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58786</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When Tim and I moved back to Illinois in 2003, my little brother started playing on bass.

For it is in love that we find the greatest of strengths and the deepest of sorrows. Love can seem to be so fleeting and unachievable yet it remains well within our reach if we only learn how to embrace it's power. To experience true love, we must be willing to open ourselves up and sacrifice part of our heart and part of our soul. We must be willing to give of ourselves freely, and we must be willing to suffer. It is only when we expose our inner selves to the white hot flame of rejection, that love can burn so brightly as to join to souls, melding the two into one, creating a bond that joins forever. It is from this bond that we draw strength eternal and power ever lasting. It is in this thing that we call love that we find the means to achieve greatness, both in ourselves and in our lives.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be left alone, and face to face with my own crime, had been just retribution. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53801]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be left alone, and face to face with my own crime, had been just retribution.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of course I was disappointed.
