Quote by Mae West

It ain't sin if you crack a few laws now and then, just so long as you don't break any.

Summary

This quote implies that bending or skirting the laws is not necessarily immoral or sinful as long as one does not fully breach them. It suggests that minor infractions might be acceptable if they do not result in major transgressions. However, this perspective can be subjective and could possibly overlook the principles of integrity and respecting the legal system and the societal norms it upholds. Ultimately, it encourages a morally gray area where individuals may feel justified in exploiting loopholes or engaging in minor illegalities.

That figure stood for a long time wholly in the light; this arose from a certain legendary dimness evolved by the majority of heroes, and which always veils the truth for a longer or shorter time; but to-day history and daylight have arrived.That light called history is pitiless; it possesses this peculiar and divine quality, that, pure light as it is, and precisely because it is wholly light, it often casts a shadow in places where people had hitherto beheld rays; from the same man it constructs two different phantoms, and the one attacks the other and executes justice on it, and the shadows of the despot contend with the brilliancy of the leader. Hence arises a truer measure in the definitive judgments of nations. Babylon violated lessens Alexander, Rome enchained lessens Caesar, Jerusalem murdered lessens Titus, tyranny follows the tyrant. It is a misfortune for a man to leave behind him the night which bears his form.
