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.

It ain't sin if you crack a few laws now and then, just so l

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.
