To break the basic laws of justice and decency is sin indeed. Man's freedom to honor principles is the moral dimension in his nature, and sin often appears as lawlessness. But sin has its roots in something which is more than the will to break the law. The core of sin is our making ourselves the center of life, rather than accepting the holy God as the center. Lack of trust, self-love, pride -- these are three ways in which Christians have expressed the real meaning of sin. But what sin does is to make the struggle with evil meaningless. When we refuse to hold our freedom in trust and reverence for God's will, there is nothing which can make the risk of life worth the pain of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person; having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16921]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person; having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but to pour them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then, with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away. -George Eliot.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16921</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few have seen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65336]]></link><description><![CDATA[True love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few have seen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65336</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lovely being, scarcely formed or moulded, A rose with all its sweetest leaves yet folded. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3844]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lovely being, scarcely formed or moulded, A rose with all its sweetest leaves yet folded.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3844</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What shame keeps its watch, virtue is not wholly extinguished in the heart. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60767]]></link><description><![CDATA[What shame keeps its watch, virtue is not wholly extinguished in the heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60767</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was fascinating for me to drive with Lies through the country roads.
