Not to practice them is to abandon our humanity. To practice them spontaneously and delightfully is not yet possible. This situation creates the category of duty, the whole specifically moral realm. It exists to be transcended. Here is the paradox of Christianity. As practical imperatives for here and now, the two great commandments have to be translated "Behave as if you loved God and man". For no man can love because he is told to. Yet obedience on this practical level is not really obedience at all. And if a man really loved God and man, once again this would hardly be obedience; for if he did, he would be unable to help it. Thus the command really says to us, "Ye must be born again". Till then, we have duty, morality, the Law. A schoolmaster, as St. Paul says, is to bring us to Christ. We must expect no more of it than of a schoolmaster; we must allow it no less.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8550</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fall back upon a name? rest, rot in that? Not keep it noble, make it nobler?

But the only time that is surely yours is the present, hence this is the time to speak the word of appreciation and sympathy, to do the generous deed, to forgive the fault of a thoughtless friend, to sacrifice self a little more for others. Today is the day in which to express your noblest qualities of mind and heart, to do at least one worthy thing which you have long postponed, and to use your God-given abilities for the enrichment of someone less fortunate. Today you can make your life - significant and worthwhile. The present is yours to do with as you will. -Grenville Kleiser.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[aren't critical to the strategy of the infrastructure we are building throughout North America. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37781]]></link><description><![CDATA[aren't critical to the strategy of the infrastructure we are building throughout North America.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37781</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The kindest man, The best-condition'd and unwearied spirit In doing courtesies. -The Merchant of Venice.
