By individual depravity, I mean my own. I find it out in myself; or, rather, He who searcheth me and trieth my ways, finds it out in me. That sense of depravity implies the recognition of a law from which I have broken loose, of a Divine image which my character has not resembled. It is the law and the order which are universal. It is this character of Christ which is the true human character. It is easy enough to own to a general depravity; under cover of it, you and I would escape.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Disbelief in magic can force a poor soul into believing in government and business. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26192]]></link><description><![CDATA[Disbelief in magic can force a poor soul into believing in government and business.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anything in any way beautiful derives its beauty from itself and asks nothing beyond itself.
