"The climax of the Ten Commandments is the Tenth Commandment – 'Thou shat not covet' – Actually we break this last commandment, not to covet, before we break any of the others. Any time that we break one of the other commandments of God, it means that we have already broken this commandment, in coveting."

Francis A. Schaeffer (theologian, 1912-1984)

Note:

Quote taken from his 1971 book True Spirituality… As much I contend observably, logically, consistently the singular human right to Consent or Dissent on ALL matters (per 10th and 11th books, and book forthcoming), likewise I contend observably, logically, consistently the singular human adversary even archfoe (if you will) of such right as Covetousness oft morphing into Presumption then soon Arrogance. I owe in part my understanding of the latter to studying, pondering, laboring over the book’s 1st chapter.
