The truth about man is that his ground is not in himself but in God -- that his essence is not in self sufficient reason but in the Word, in the challenge of God, in responsibility, not in self-sufficiency. The true being of man is realized when he bases himself upon God's Word. Faith is then not an impossibility or a salto mortale [mortal leap], but that which is truly natural; and the real salto mortale (a mortal leap indeed!) is just the assertion of autonomy, self-sufficiency, God-likeness. [It is] through this usurped independence [that] man separates himself from God, and at the same time isolates himself from his fellows. Individualism is the necessary consequence of rational autonomy, just as love is the necessary consequence of faith.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A malignant sore throat is a danger, a malignant throat not sore is worse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29084]]></link><description><![CDATA[A malignant sore throat is a danger, a malignant throat not sore is worse.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5619]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once a yeare a man may say: On his conscience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49683]]></link><description><![CDATA[Once a yeare a man may say: On his conscience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we are looking for is what is looking. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22722]]></link><description><![CDATA[What we are looking for is what is looking.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22722</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The measure of a man is what he does with power. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64184]]></link><description><![CDATA[The measure of a man is what he does with power.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sermons are like pie-crust, the shorter the better. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53537]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sermons are like pie-crust, the shorter the better.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thus the fable tells us, that the wren mounted as high as the eagle, by getting upon his back. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62378]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thus the fable tells us, that the wren mounted as high as the eagle, by getting upon his back.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[First master the fundamentals. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13757]]></link><description><![CDATA[First master the fundamentals.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13757</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Literature has been the salvation of the damned, literature has inspired and guided lovers, routed despair and can perhaps in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54662]]></link><description><![CDATA[Literature has been the salvation of the damned, literature has inspired and guided lovers, routed despair and can perhaps in this case save the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where lives the man that has not tried, How mirth can into folly glide,  And folly into sin! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51116]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where lives the man that has not tried, How mirth can into folly glide,  And folly into sin!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51116</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Historians and archaeologists will one day discover that the ads of our time are the richest and most faithful reflections ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19298]]></link><description><![CDATA[Historians and archaeologists will one day discover that the ads of our time are the richest and most faithful reflections that any society ever made of its entire range of activities.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nay, master, said not I as much when I saw the porpoise, how he bounced and tumbled?
