The truth about man is that his ground is not in himself but in God -- that his essence is not in self sufficient reason but in the Word, in the challenge of God, in responsibility, not in self-sufficiency. The true being of man is realized when he bases himself upon God's Word. Faith is then not an impossibility or a salto mortale [mortal leap], but that which is truly natural; and the real salto mortale (a mortal leap indeed!) is just the assertion of autonomy, self-sufficiency, God-likeness. [It is] through this usurped independence [that] man separates himself from God, and at the same time isolates himself from his fellows. Individualism is the necessary consequence of rational autonomy, just as love is the necessary consequence of faith.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Virtues are acquired through endeavor, which rests wholly upon yourself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60749]]></link><description><![CDATA[Virtues are acquired through endeavor, which rests wholly upon yourself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a woman has to choose between catching a fly ball and saving an infant's life, she will choose to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61951]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a woman has to choose between catching a fly ball and saving an infant's life, she will choose to save the infant's life without even considering if there are men on base.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People are just as happy as they make up their minds to be. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26899]]></link><description><![CDATA[People are just as happy as they make up their minds to be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26899</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Airplane Law, The: When the plane you are on is late, the plane you want to transfer to is on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24352]]></link><description><![CDATA[Airplane Law, The: When the plane you are on is late, the plane you want to transfer to is on time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Woe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope, to love - and to put its ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2041]]></link><description><![CDATA[Woe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope, to love - and to put its trust in life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On painting and fighting looke aloofe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49682]]></link><description><![CDATA[On painting and fighting looke aloofe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49682</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Welfare is hated by those who administer it, mistrusted by those who pay for it and held in contempt by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61517]]></link><description><![CDATA[Welfare is hated by those who administer it, mistrusted by those who pay for it and held in contempt by those who receive it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the investigation implicates Syria, are we going to wage war on it?

The owner maintained that he had let theAss only, and not his Shadow. The Traveler asserted that he had,with the hire of the Ass, hired his Shadow also.
