I find with a little extrapolation many of the maxims are universally applicable.

Maxim 1, for example. Pillage, then burn. If you wave away the violent language as a metaphor, you have a powerful statement about the importance of doing things in the proper order. If you burn before you pillage there's not as much loot.
