Its glorification of mere chance is a denial of the Divine order of nature. To risk money haphazard is to disregard the insistence of the Church in every age of living faith that possessions are a trust, and that men must account to God for their use. The persistent appeal to covetousness is fundamentally opposed to the unselfishness which was taught by Jesus Christ and by the New Testament as a whole. The attempt (which is inseparable from gambling) to make a profit out of the inevitable loss and possible suffering of others is the antithesis of that love of one's neighbour on which our Lord insisted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A witch and a bitch always dress up for each other, because otherwise the witch would upstage the bitch, or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8892]]></link><description><![CDATA[A witch and a bitch always dress up for each other, because otherwise the witch would upstage the bitch, or the bitch would upstage the witch, and the result would be havoc]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8892</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To err is human; to forgive, divine. -Alexander Pope. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16540]]></link><description><![CDATA[To err is human; to forgive, divine. -Alexander Pope.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What good is speed if the brain has oozed out on the way? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18777]]></link><description><![CDATA[What good is speed if the brain has oozed out on the way?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18777</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not completely finalized, but I talked with Steve (Wednesday) and he has given me a proxy to go ahead. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30306]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's not completely finalized, but I talked with Steve (Wednesday) and he has given me a proxy to go ahead.
