You may remember, when I was talking about sexual morality, I warned you that the centre of Christian morals did not lie there. Well, now we have come to the centre. According to Christian teachers, the essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride. Unchastity, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere flea-bites in comparison: it was through Pride that the devil became the devil: Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world always had the same bankrupt look, to foregoing ages as to us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62230]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world always had the same bankrupt look, to foregoing ages as to us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If God did not exist it would be necessary to invent Him.

One of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements. He soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure, and digging down, came to the lump of gold, and stole it. The Miser, on his next visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations. A neighbor, seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause, said, Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The unexamined life is not worth living. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1466]]></link><description><![CDATA[The unexamined life is not worth living.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1466</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48480]]></link><description><![CDATA[The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48480</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you see Washington consistently turning a blind eye to suffering, don’t sit back and apathetically blame indifference.
