The Christian is not a homo religiosus but a man, pure and simple, just as Jesus became man... It is only by living completely in this world that one learns to believe. One must abandon every attempt to make something of oneself, whether it be a saint, a converted sinner, a churchman, a righteous man, or an unrighteous one, a sick man or a healthy one... This is what I mean by worldliness -- taking life in one's stride, with all its duties and problems, its successes and failures, its experiences and helplessness... How can success make us arrogant or failure lead us astray, when we participate in the sufferings of God by living in this world?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The difference between false memories and true ones is the same as for jewels: it is always the false ones ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26951]]></link><description><![CDATA[The difference between false memories and true ones is the same as for jewels: it is always the false ones that look the most real, the most brilliant.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sports do not build character.
