To break the basic laws of justice and decency is sin indeed. Man's freedom to honor principles is the moral dimension in his nature, and sin often appears as lawlessness. But sin has its root in something which is more than the will to break the law. The core of sin is our making ourselves the center of life, rather than accepting the holy God as the center. Lack of trust, self-love, pride, these are three ways in which Christians have expressed the real meaning of sin. But what sin does is to make the struggle with evil meaningless. When we refuse to hold our freedom in trust and reverence for God's will, there is nothing which can make the risk of life worth the pain of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All literature is political. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25359]]></link><description><![CDATA[All literature is political.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If intellection and knowledge were mere passion from without, or the bare reception of extraneous and adventitious forms, then no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46288]]></link><description><![CDATA[If intellection and knowledge were mere passion from without, or the bare reception of extraneous and adventitious forms, then no reason could be given at all why a mirror or looking-glass should not understand; whereas it cannot so much as sensibly perceive those images which it receives and reflects to us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46288</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who invalidate reason ought seriously to consider whether they argue against reason with or without reason; if with reason, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34747]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who invalidate reason ought seriously to consider whether they argue against reason with or without reason; if with reason, then they establish the principles that they are laboring to dethrone: but if they argue without reason (which, in order to be consistent with themselves they must do), they are out of reach of rational conviction, nor do they deserve a rational argument.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't tell me peace has broken out. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26859]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't tell me peace has broken out.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man's manners are a mirror in which he shows his portrait. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26332]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man's manners are a mirror in which he shows his portrait.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26332</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who helps in the saving of others, Saves himself as well. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14512]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who helps in the saving of others, Saves himself as well.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14512</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cheese -- milk's leap forward to immortality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20622]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cheese -- milk's leap forward to immortality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20622</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One ungrateful man does an injury to all who are suffering. [Lat., Ingratus unus miseris omnibus nocet.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20904]]></link><description><![CDATA[One ungrateful man does an injury to all who are suffering. [Lat., Ingratus unus miseris omnibus nocet.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Does not the very word 'creative' mean to build, to initiate, to give out, to act - rather than to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30080]]></link><description><![CDATA[Does not the very word 'creative' mean to build, to initiate, to give out, to act - rather than to be acted upon, to be subjective?
