"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy
neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his
ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor's."
The tenth commandment strikes at the very root of all sins, prohibiting the
selfish desire, from which springs the sinful act. He who in obedience to God's
law refrains from indulging even a sinful desire for that which belongs to
another will not be guilty of an act of wrong toward his fellow creatures.
Patriachs and Prophets page 309
