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[Take heed of the wrath of a mighty man, and the tumult of the people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49780]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take heed of the wrath of a mighty man, and the tumult of the people.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hour of justice does not strike On the dials of this world.  [Fr., L'heure de la justice ne ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58317]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hour of justice does not strike On the dials of this world.  [Fr., L'heure de la justice ne sonne pas   Aux cadrans de ce monde.]   - Maurice Maeterlinck, Measure of the Hours,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58317</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After the house is finisht, leave it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49093]]></link><description><![CDATA[After the house is finisht, leave it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49093</guid></item></channel></rss>
