In that very chapter [Romans 7] where he asserts most strongly our inability to keep the moral law he also asserts most confidently that we perceive the Law's goodness and rejoice in it according to the inward man. Our righteousness may be filthy and ragged; but Christianity gives us no ground for holding that our perceptions of right are in the same condition. They may, no doubt, be impaired; but there is a difference between imperfect sight and blindness. A theology which goes about to represent our practical reason as radically unsound is heading for disaster. If we once admit that what God means by "goodness" is sheerly different from what we judge to be good, there is no difference left between pure religion and devil worship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who hearkens to the gods, the gods give ear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17753]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who hearkens to the gods, the gods give ear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17753</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It should be noted that the games of children are not games, and must be considered as their most serious ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17180]]></link><description><![CDATA[It should be noted that the games of children are not games, and must be considered as their most serious actions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17180</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The promise of yesterday are the taxes of today. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15886]]></link><description><![CDATA[The promise of yesterday are the taxes of today.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15886</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the spirit and not the form of law that keeps justice alive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24308]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the spirit and not the form of law that keeps justice alive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O nightingale, that on yon bloomy spray Warblest at eve, when all the woods are still;  Thou with fresh ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44553]]></link><description><![CDATA[O nightingale, that on yon bloomy spray Warblest at eve, when all the woods are still;  Thou with fresh hope the lover's heart dost fill   While the jolly hours lead on propitious May.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44553</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, Teacher, 430   None can become fit for the future life, who hath ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8466]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, Teacher, 430   None can become fit for the future life, who hath not practiced himself for it now.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8466</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be taken seriously you need the ability to make fun of yourself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53379]]></link><description><![CDATA[To be taken seriously you need the ability to make fun of yourself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53379</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anger is like A full hot horse, who being allowed his way,  Self-mettle tires him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51352]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anger is like A full hot horse, who being allowed his way,  Self-mettle tires him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And say to mothers what a holy charge Is theirs--with what a kingly power their love  Might rule the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43212]]></link><description><![CDATA[And say to mothers what a holy charge Is theirs--with what a kingly power their love  Might rule the fountains of the new-born mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every day I get up and look through the Forbes list of the richest people in America.
