“Thou shalt not commit adultry is a command which makes no distinction between the following persons. They are all required to obey it: children at birth. Children in the cradle. School children. Youths and maidens. Fresh adults. Older ones. Men and women of 40. Of 50. Of 60. Of 70. Of 80. Of 100. The command does not distribute its burden equally, and cannot. It is not hard upon the three sets of children.” MenChildrenPersonsDoeHardSchoolThreeYouthBirthMen And WomenAdultsFollowingBurdenCommitCommandDistinctionCradleMaidens Book:What Is Man? and Other Philosophical Writings Source: What Is Man? and Other Philosophical Writings
